Oil Industry jobs are dangerous ... and the companies usually do a good job of Safety Equipment and Procedures ...

I worked the McAllen Texas gas fields for Shell in the 1980s ... lots of Hydraulic Fracture Treatments ...

Anytime you're pumping a high-viscosity fluid into a wellhead (at 10,000 plus PSI) ... Problems and Accidents will arise ...

I also worked the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea (Brown and Root Dredge Barge 316) for the "legendary" Taylor Diving and Salvage Company ...

Maybe the best times of my life ...

I had cause to return to this video today. Its Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe discussing work in America. He speaks about the realization that sometimes PETA causes more suffering than they prevent and that sometimes OSHA and their safety need to come last. He talks about they way we treat blue collar workers like lepers and how bad our infrastructure is. Its really a very interesting speech.
