Only working overside
And then, if you are overside you have to wear a harness attached to the structure, lifejacket, Personal Locator Beacon and have the daughter craft from the standy by vessel in the water beside where you are working
We had 2 standy by vessels (2 daughter craft and 1 fast rescue craft) on each one, a nearby trawler and a coastgaurd helicopter searching.

thats not good at all. it says he may not have been wearing personal protective equipment. i guess there will be a major investigation into what has happened so they won't release any further info for a while.

He wouldve been wearing PPE
He wouldnt have been wearing any survival gear such as lifejacket, or the survival suit you wear when your in the chopper
Think theres a vessel with an ROV and divers on board on its way to the field

Not sure what happened. Had 6 Grampian Police out to the platform yesterday and we all got interviewed at the heliport when we got off
They found the body now using an ROV. Still dont know for sure what happened
