    Most medical personell on oil rigs are paramedics or of similar training. They are there to do the job until the medivac helicopter arrives.

    You would need especially some safety training before you are allowed by the insurance companies to work on a oil rig. Go to Offshore medical Job Links:

    There you find also info on where you can get different certificates.
