Posted By A Campbell Nicky, All depends on what role offshore you are looking for? The working environment is complex, work at height, heavy lifting, pressure systems, noise, mechanical, electrical, hydracarans, hazardous chemicals the list can go on a lot futher! basics... need offshore survival and medical for UK and most of Europe before setting foot into the industry
