A Rig Safety Officer is responsible for the health, safety, and well-being of workers working on oil and gas rigs, which are high-risk environments. They are in charge of enforcing and monitoring safety measures, conducting risk assessments, and assuring compliance with industry regulations and corporate policy.

Their responsibilities include examining equipment, identifying potential dangers, and enforcing safety protocols to avoid accidents and injuries. Rig Safety Officers provide frequent safety training and drills, preparing crew members to handle situations successfully. They also look into problems, determine the underlying reasons, and suggest fixes to stop them from happening again.

A Rig Safety Officer typically holds NEBOSH or OSHA certifications, as well as safety management expertise and a full grasp of rig operations. Their proactive approach and commitment to safety are crucial in reducing hazards and providing a safe and efficient working environment on the rig.
