The oil and gas exploration and production offshore units are classified as hazardous installations. Work in these facilities is complex, confined and associated with a wide range of risks. The continuous operation is secured by various shift work patterns. The objective of this study was to evaluate how offshore drilling workers perceived shift work at high seas and its impacts on their life and working conditions. The main features of the studied offshore shift work schedules are: long time on board (14 to 28 days), extended shifts (12 hours or more per day), slow rotation (7 to 14 days in the same shift), long sequence of days on the night shift (7 to 14 days in a row) and the extra-long extended journey (18 hours) on shift change and landing days. Interviews revealed a wide range of stressors caused by the offshore shift work, as well as difficulties to conciliate work with family life. It was observed that changes of the family model, leading to role conflicts and social isolation, work in a hazardous environment, perceiving poor sleep when working at night shifts and the imbalance between the expected and actual rewards are the major stressors for the offshore drilling workers.
海上油气勘探和生产装置被归类为危险设施。在这些设施中的工作复杂、受限且伴随着多种风险。通过各种轮班工作模式确保连续作业。本研究的目的是评估海上钻井工人如何看待公海的轮班工作及其对他们生活和工作条件的影响。所研究的海上轮班工作计划的主要特点是：在船上时间长（14至28天）、轮班时间长（每天12小时或更长）、轮班轮换慢（同一班次7至14天）、夜班连续天数长（连续7至14天）以及换班和上岸日的超长行程（18小时）。访谈揭示了海上轮班工作造成的一系列压力源，以及协调工作与家庭生活的困难。据观察，家庭模式的变化导致角色冲突和社会孤立、在危险环境中工作、夜班工作时睡眠质量差以及预期回报与实际回报之间的不平衡是海上钻井工人的主要压力源。
