Allow Us To Fight On Your Behalf To Seek The Compensation You Deserve

Mainly used for offshore drilling in the oil and gas industry, jack-up rigs are mobile platforms that can be raised or lowered using hydraulics and rest on the bottom of the sea. They are immense pieces of machinery and jack-up rig accidents carry serious risks to the workers that are aboard.

COMMON DANGERS OF JACK-UP RIGS

One of the common risks associated with jack-up rigs is capsizing if not properly secured. Being a large mechanical platform, jack-up rigs are outfitted with a multitude of electrical lines, which carry the risk of explosions and fires given their proximity to the surrounding water.

Another common injury among jack-up rig workers is head trauma. Because the huge platform is mostly made of large parts, any failure in the structural integrity can cause some of these parts to strike a worker, resulting in blunt force trauma. Even something as simple as falling tools can be a major concern in a work area such as this.Studies have shownthat overall, jack-up rig workers, and most general offshore workers, are at a risk of twice that of on-land construction workers.
