WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH BOATING?
It's as safe as you make it.

I really like caretakers answer. Women are normally cooks. I think that the industry has come a bit further than that. I would think that although the job of oil rigs is dangerous by design it is as safe as it can be and getting better with time. If you are so inclined go for it. It will be just as safe for you as for anyone else. Not quiet as safe as being a cook in a diner but not near as much fun either. If you can keep your end up, it would be a great job. If I were younger I would go with you.

It's safer than crossing a street without traffic control. If you're talking about personal safety it couldn't be better. Ya don't mess with the help!!
If you are seriously interested you need to determine what skill that would attract the industry. Women normally work in logistic support or cooks. There are however some degreed geologists and drilling engineers working offshore.
The physical activity of drilling has diminished with new technology of automation so there may be new avenues open. It's a hard industry to enter without a sponsor but Good Luck. I did it by accident.

Whattaya? Nuts? Check the demographics of the oil rig personnel. A buncha guys that live on the rig for three months, then move to a fleabitten hotel for the next three months. Not an IQ over 90; not an LQ (libido quotient) under 200. Does the term "three orifices, no waiting" bring a particular picture to mind? For three months at a time.

It's very dangerous but the money is good and for the most part, they try to make it as safe as possible....
I mean...it's heavy industrial type of environment. People dont get killed on oil rigs all that often but it does happen.

It is very safe - safety regulations on oil rigs are strict.
Just make sure you know and follow all safety regulations.

it's exhausting work with Long hours and endless shifts, it's dangerous ! It breaks one of my hard core rules in life:
"Never put your azz on the line for money, if you lose, you lose your LIFE, NOT worth the risk by ANY means at all" !

I think you need to rethink that idea.
