Best Answer

Many petroleum engineers work in office buildings, not on drilling or production platforms. There are accidents on these platforms. Petroleum engineers on platforms are normally instructed in avoiding hazards and emergency procedures. It is common to have a health and safety official on a production platform. Petroleum engineers may be required to work in countries which have more crime than the US. The engineer will typically be instructed of the dangers. He may be restricted in travel. He will almost always, carry either a walkie-talkie or cell phone with him when he is out of the office.
