By their very nature, oilfields and offshore structures can pose a real hazard in the form of bacteria, viruses, and mold to the people who live and work on them. These invisible but potentially harmful microscopic organisms can easily appear and spread in an offshore establishment, and once there they can have devastating consequences.



Workers on offshore oilrigs usually live on the rigs for long periods of time, and on top of this they often live in very close quarters. This can become a breeding ground for different forms of bacteria and mold with relative ease unless the right precautions are taken.

Staph bacteria in the form of MRSA and E. Coli, as well as viruses such as Influenza A and B and harmful mold spores, could all become established on an offshore platform with relative ease in a short period of time. And after they have made a presence for themselves they will start leading to serious problems for the employees who are living amongst them.

Protect Your Employees

Whenever an employee gets ill and misses a day at work, the company loses money. It is a common problem for any business, but in an offshore establishment the problem is increased significantly. The costs involved in removing a sick employee from an offshore platform are vast: not only do you miss their productivity for the day, but you will also have to pay for them to seek help, and the costs can quickly add up.

If the problem was caused by a failure on the part of the offshore establishment to properly clean the area and maintain the hygiene of the rig, then this lack of responsibility could even lead to you finding yourself with some hefty legal bills to pay, especially if the problem is severe, such as those involving MRSA.

Employees will be more productive in a healthy, clean environment that has good air quality. Bad air quality from the presence of mold spores, which can lead to headaches and breathing difficulties, can have a very problematic effect on the staff, reducing their capability to work to their maximum potential.

But it's not just the actual rig that should be considered for treatment. Any area where humans are present will pose a risk, and therefore it is essential that support vessels, ships, and even decompression chambers are all treated with the same level of care and attention.

Get Treatment

Luckily, all of these problems can be resolved by using, a full service cleaning and antimicrobial treatment company that will lead to MRSA control and MRSA prevention through its treatment for staph bacteria. It will also lead to staph infection prevention, mold prevention, and virus prevention, meaning a reduction in staff illnesses caused as a result of these harmful micro organisms. Along with the initial treatment a full service anti-microbial company will provide follow up products and training to maintain the safe, healthy environment.

The treatment is simple, safe, cost effective, and will provide long-term protection for your offshore establishment, meaning a happier, healthier workforce with greater productivity.
