Hi
Congrats on your new baby!
BTW there are no 'professional' engineers in the O & G industry. Heck! they don't even bother to register with the Institutions and Board!
There is no O&G section in the Institution of engineers. They are just not bothered.
So essentially most so called engineers here are mercenaries, not professionals. Many are very poor at their so called profession.
But that's just the industry.
Im not fully agree with your statement. I believe on the consultant side, most of them require their engineers to be registered with the board.
I dont have the statistics but having work in both manufacturing and oil and gas industry, I feel very secure in OnG compared to manufacturing.
The safety aspects must be followed religiously or else you will be punished. Although it is not uniform across the industry, e.g petronas has their own standard (Zeto rules), petrofac (CoW) got their own, shell, etc etc but their goal is always to make the workplace safe.
p.s Im not SHO. I hate them. They cause me so much trouble at site

. But their intention is noble. They want everyone come to work and going home safely. So I have to thank them
