Offshore drilling workers face significant stressors due to demanding shift work schedules, impacting their work-life balance and well-being. These challenging conditions affect family life, sleep quality, and overall job satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Maritime Studies
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Offshore oil and gas exploration units are hazardous installations requiring continuous operation.
  • Shift work patterns are essential for maintaining operations but present unique challenges for workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate offshore drilling workers' perceptions of shift work at high seas.
  • To assess the impacts of shift work on their life and working conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study involving interviews with offshore drilling workers.
  • Exploration of stressors and work-life balance issues associated with specific shift schedules.

Main Results:

  • Shift work schedules feature long onboard durations, extended shifts, slow rotation, and prolonged night shifts.

  • Workers reported significant stressors including difficulties reconciling work and family life, social isolation, and poor sleep quality during night shifts.
  • Perceived imbalance between expected and actual rewards emerged as a major stressor.

    • Conclusions:

    • Offshore shift work presents substantial challenges to workers' well-being and family life.
    • Addressing stressors related to hazardous environments, sleep disruption, and reward imbalance is crucial for improving offshore worker conditions.
