Today, we thought we would talk about the day in the life of an offshore safety coach.  

We very much subscribe to the concepts of the remote and digital/virtual realm and how useful that can be.  We are a remote team, doing a lot of work running programmes around the globe using digital technology.  For example, we run the global safety leadership programme for a client, which is completely facilitated via digital technology.

However, nothing takes away from the value of working person to person in situ to bring about change, which we’re delighted to say that we do that as well.  As our primary role is to help people change how they think about safety, sometimes face-to-face is the best way to start that conversation. 

Those initial conversations are essential in building the rapport and relationship we need to start the safety change journey as they’re not always sure what we’re doing in the early stages and why.  As Safety Coaches, we must be clear that we have a real purpose and are onsite for a reason.

However, before we can assert that reason, we need to have those rapport-building relationship-building conversations across the board.  We are in a unique position in that we work with everybody on a rig.  We know, for example, that not many of the drilling crew visit the engine room, but we do.

As Nuala is currently working on-site, and it has come up on a few occasions that she has been out there more than she has been at home this year, we thought we would ask her the question: 

So what’s it like out there?  

And share with you what we face in the day in the life of an offshore safety coach.
