Specific legal arguments At an oil rig, displaying a zero-tolerance stance for on-site smoking is acceptable for a
number of reasons. First of all, smoking presents a serious fire risk, especially in a risky and
flammable environment like an oil rig. A little cigarette spark could start a fire, which could
have disastrous effects such as causing injuries, deaths, and environmental catastrophes.
Second, smoking poses a risk to both smokers and non-smokers’ health. Workers on an oil
rig are exposed to a variety of harmful substances, such as benzene and other carcinogens,
which may worsen the harmful consequences of smoking. A smoke-free workplace
encourages a healthier atmosphere for employees and lowers the possibility of health-
related legal action.
Third, it's frequently against the law and industry standards to smoke at work, and breaking
these restrictions could result in legal obligations, such as fines and regulatory penalties. A
zero-tolerance policy for smoking helps to ensure that employers are adhering to their
legal obligations to offer a safe and healthy workplace.
Consideration of likelihood AND Types of harm or illness: Smoking raises the danger of flames, which can result in fatalities,

these incidents, it's important to prioritize worker safety and take steps to minimize
the risk of injury or damage.
• How frequently the activity is performed: The frequency with which activities that can
lead to fires and explosions are performed can affect the likelihood of incidents
occurring. For example, regular inspections of equipment and facilities can help
identify potential hazards before they become serious problems, while effective
training and communication can help workers understand how to prevent fires and
explosions in the first place.

manner to guarantee that employees may use the acquired information and abilities in

Specialised education and training can reduce the danger of electrical risks on an oil rig, but
they might not completely manage it. It may also be required to take further steps
including routine equipment maintenance, safety inspections, and the implementation of
safety policies and procedures. To control the risk of electrical hazards and guarantee the
safety of personnel on an oil rig, however, specialised training and education must be made
available.
