How does one break into the offshore HSE/Safety game?

Posted on 4/7/19 at 8:12 pm
I’ve read some old threads on here suggesting CSST or COSS at BRCC. Some others suggested getting OSHA 500s... are these courses enough, when combined with a BS to get into the industry?
I’ve got some HazMat experience from time in the military. Very familiar with handling explosive materials as well as highly combustible ordnance, but no experience in the O&G industry.
Of course being an a-hole, being hated, and being OK with Jody piping down the old lady while raising my kids is secondary to the other stuff.
Thanks, baws.

No money in safety

They don’t, offshore market makes so much money, they are good with using the same quality companies. They don’t have a need to take a risk trying someone new

There is a guy in Thibodaux that owns , leases or otherwise has right of first refusal on all in the boom and response vessels within 1000 miles of the gulf. I suggest that you marry mom, sister or daughter.

get certified to train safety classes and work for a third party safety contractor company and work your way through the industry. Or apply for clerical jobs on floaters or big vessels/ barges and work your way through there.

Honestly man most of safety I've ever worked with are either former rig hands or they are connected to someone high up in the company. Every now and then you'll find someone who lucked into the job thru an outside hire but it's rare.
Why exactly would you want to be getting into safety? Legit question

Lol sure. I make 200k a year in safety. You have to travel but there is money in safety.

I enjoyed it during the brief time I was over it in the military. I tried to crack into the industry when I first moved back to Louisiana, but had no direction on how to go about doing so. Safety/HSE in the offshore industry seems to be a nice in-between between production worker type pay, while also putting the fact that I have a degree to use.
Love my job now and am in no huge hurry to leave. Just got a promotion, but the money simply is not in my field. I could work 30 years at the occupation I’m at now and maybe hit 90k at the tail end of my career.

Best of luck then bubba seems like you are better prepared than most trying to break into safety. Having the college degree and military background will certainly help.
CSST and CSSS are pretty basic credentials along with the OSHA100 and the HAZWOPER. OSHA500 is going to get you a lot more looks. Going offshore you'll also want to get your HUET training if you cant find a company to pay for it.
I'm sure there are a lot better versed posters for the offshore game. Most offshore work I've done was soundings for pipelines so not exactly the best source for that particular area of O&G

I appreciate all that info. Any other certs you’d recommend, aside from what I listed in the OP?

Besides for Total Safety, all of the ones I worked with were all contracted by oil companies. They worked for themselves.
Head to the Permian Basin. That's where the work is at.
