What is the work environment like for roustabouts?

The work environment can be very strenuous. Most oilfields and offshore rigs are in remote places with few amenities. Typically, you work for several weeks at a time and then spend several weeks at home before returning. You work long hours, and the labor is physically demanding. You should also expect to work in all sorts of weather conditions, which can be challenging, particularly on offshore sites. Additionally, you work with hazardous materials, so you will need to be vigilant about following all safety protocols to avoid risk during work.
