Hazardous locations does anyone do this kind of work

[Megawatt]

I do, 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off

That would work for me and it’s also dangerous work so be careful

Kenny ive worked in many classified areas and been to many orientations and you have the safety people watching you with binoculars and they are very strickbut I guess it’s for our own protection

I wouldn’t doubt that you have to where a safety harness when you go crap and tie off to the toilet. I’ve worked in many places where if they catch you violating safety policies you are immediately escorted off the property

I know it’s late at night in the UK txt me tomorrow and we will compare experiences

The lads I know on the rigs in the north sea, last time I spoke to them did either 1 month on, 1 month off or 3 months on 1 month off.

Until about 3 years ago most of the British sector were 2 weeks on 3 weeks off. About 3 years ago there was a price crash and lots of places went 3 weeks on 3 weeks off. Things are slowly picking up and Rita’s improving to 3 on 4 off etc.

Thats pretty archaic, the British North Sea is almost exclusively 2 men or less, the Norwegian North Sea is almost always 1 man cabins. Anyone with a trade is 2 man or less in west Africa in my experience.

I’ll say this that you have been around the block a few times and I also assume you know class 1 div 1 areas very well

Looking at the definition that’s what ATEX would refer to as Zone 0. Instrument/electrical equipment in these areas is pretty sparse. The vast majority of hazardous areas are Zone 2.
