Oil workers are a special breed. We picked a job up in Grangemouth a few weeks ago and the H&S is phenomenal. Like a total pain in the arse, you need a permit to burp FFS. Anyway, it's all on dayworks, I've got 4 guys up there getting paid about £14ph, meanwhile I'm charging them out at £32ph, nearly £3k a week for **** all
I reckon there will be a full house against Kilmarnock with a lot of venim floating around like the acrid stench of hydrogen sulphide. After that though things will quieten down to early 80's proportions.
My company has the Con Mon contract there. It's separate from the Aberdeen one. They have a "Stop" meeting here every month. Last month one of the mopes was on about not walking about with AA batteries in your pocket in case they catch fire
The 'Stop' pish is the same at Grangemouth. Weekly borefests with the dullest H&S guy on Earth. He's one of those ****s who have a chronic lack of confidence, and God help you that if during one of his borefests he happens to see that you're looking at him, he will home in on you and direct the rest of the meeting to you.
Whenever they go outside Ibrox or CP, they always interview the biggest ugliest cretin they can find!
Shell take Stop extra serious. Sometimes they have the graduate students stand out in the car park in a hi-vis vest to watch for people breaking the 15 MPH speed-limit. 4 years at uni and loads of debt to stand about looking for Jags and Mercs going 18 MPH instead of 15........waste of ****ing time.
H&S is ridiculous here as well. Every Monday and Thursday we get a popup on our computers when we switch them on. Today it was telling us that if we use a coiled extension lead, make sure you stretch it to it's max distance when using it. It is a fire hazard otherwise. There was a thing as well about a carpenter on a job. He fell 600mm onto an exposed rebar and died
so if you're on the fone you need to stretch the wire to it's full extension? **** that, what happens if you have the same phone as roseanne? please log in to view this image
