Additionally, Oil Rig Nurses play a key role in promoting health and safety among crew members, conducting health checks, and managing medical supplies.

They are responsible for treating illnesses and injuries, managing health records, and promoting overall health and safety for crew members working in remote and often hazardous environments. In addition to first aid and routine care, oil rig nurses must be prepared to respond to serious medical emergencies until a patient can be evacuated to a hospital. Their role often includes health education and ensuring compliance with occupational health regulations. Oil rig nurses typically have advanced medical training and certifications in emergency care.
