คนทำงานแท่นขุดเจาะกลางทะเล การตรวจสุขภาพคือสิ่งสำคัญ

<p>In professions that require working offshore, special medical examinations are necessary, especially for those working on offshore drilling rigs. This group works far from the shore for extended periods, in confined spaces, and in contact with chemicals. It is essential to be prepared to work offshore according to the assigned schedule and to avoid emergencies that would require urgent return to shore.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">What are On Shore and Off Shore?</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>On Shore</strong></span> refers to those working on drilling rigs located onshore. In case of problems or emergencies, nearby hospitals are accessible. However, Off Shore refers to those working on offshore oil rigs. When health issues or emergencies occur, usually only the rig’s doctor or nurse is available, with limited medical equipment. If more extensive medical care is needed, such as advanced medical devices, the patient must be immediately sent back to shore.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Off Shore: Physical Health is Crucial</span></h2>
<p>The physical fitness of Off Shore workers is very important and requires more thorough examination than On Shore workers. This group does not work onshore, in offices, or factories but in confined spaces. Working on oil rigs or ships often involves climbing up and down heights, using ladders, and sometimes working under urgent conditions. Therefore, physical fitness must be strong enough to perform these tasks and to avoid becoming a burden to coworkers, as everyone must be able to take care of themselves. Helping others under these conditions can reduce work safety.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Thorough Examination… to Prevent Emergencies</span></h2>
<p>For example, if a patient has an inflamed tooth or sudden pain, and painkillers are ineffective, they must see a dentist or have the tooth extracted immediately. If pain occurs while working on the oil rig and becomes unbearable, the patient must be sent back to shore to see a doctor immediately. Before leaving shore, doctors must screen for diseases that could cause work problems to prevent being sent back.</p>
