sheepshagger Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Does anyone know the score regarding a failed drugs test offshore? Someone i know :ph34r: failed a drugs test offshore and was sent home from the rig. Following an investigation their company has decided to sack them, not believing that they may have been spiked etc , does anyone know if this goes onto their vantage or what the fuck happens? Is that person fucked from ever working offshore again? Any help would be very much appreciated. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Your mate should have refused to take the test if there was a chance he could fail. Be better quiting his job, Or get sacked for not taking the test as that is better than failing. Im sure he will get himself back offshore as there is a shortage of skilled personell in all disciplines. You do not get blacklisted via your vantage card, However it will be an issue at interview time. Link to comment

Henry Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 An "unknown substance" found on a North Sea platform was crushed painkillers, STV News understands. Three "small packages" found on Piper Bravo on May 17 were handed to police in Aberdeen for testing. Aberdeen-based energy firm Talisman said all personnel on the platform have undergone substance testing. Kevin Forbes, managing director of job site Oil Gas People, said the scale of the testing was unprecedented. Police Scotland confirmed on Friday that their enquiries had concluded and that no further action would be taken. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 You're slacking Harcus, only 6 days behind with the news nowadays. P.S. I wasn't on the Bravo at any point, so I'm ruled out. It was not mentioned 6 days ago that it was crushed paracetamol, which is widely available on any rig. Link to comment

Pash Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 So because crushed up painkillers were found that means everyone on platform should be drug tested?! Link to comment

Poodler Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Major LOL. Superb effort from the boy responsible! Incedently, and fortunately, the NHS don't drug test their staff. Amazing that eh. Link to comment

You go work in Baku/Kazakhstan/Iraq/other shithole for a while while it all blows over and everybody forgets about it. I failed my medical for my current job because of 'Heroin' in my system. I re-sat the test about an hour later and it was all out my system. Thought it was odd as i've never taken Heroin (never had the opportunity tbh be honest) Link to comment

tainboy Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I failed a drugs test after a Poppyseed bagel that morning. True but boring story. Better off taking ding at the weekend as it would be out your system quicker than a slice of multiseed.Horse. You'd need to eat about 1.4kg if poppy seed to show up in a piss test. Link to comment
