Norwegian offshore oil workers have long faced occupational health issues due to the dangerous conditions they work in. After years of fighting for compensation, these workers will finally receive the recognition they deserve.
The hazardous nature of working on oil platforms often leads to serious health problems for Norwegian oil workers. These workers put their lives at risk every day to extract oil from the sea, facing potential accidents and long-term health issues as a result.
Despite the risks they take on the job, many oil platform workers have struggled to receive compensation for their injuries or illnesses. This has led to frustration and a sense of injustice among workers who feel that their sacrifices have not been properly acknowledged.
However, after years of activism and advocacy, Norwegian oil platform workers have finally succeeded in securing the compensation they deserve. This victory is a testament to the power of workers standing together and fighting for their rights.
The decision to award compensation to these workers is a step in the right direction towards ensuring that those who work in the oil industry are treated fairly and are given the support they need when they face health issues as a result of their work.
This long-awaited victory is a reminder of the importance of workers’ rights and the need to prioritize the health and safety of those who work in dangerous industries like offshore oil extraction. It is a significant achievement for Norwegian oil platform workers and a testament to their perseverance in the face of adversity.

Imagine us. We and the whole world were poisoned by the product of his work, and made absolutely zero financial gain from the whole thing, much to the contrary.
No wonder they’re the highest paying job in the world. Hope they got their just rewards for risking their lives for the benefit of many.
God is good, Jesus saves and the Holy Spirit heals. 🙏🏼✝️💕
What makes it worse is for the oil companies its a drop in the ocean paying compensation to its former worker, pure greed
Norway should take a moment, and reflect, but for these lovely men, you would not have the $ oil fund, that keeps you going in good and difficult economic times. To the gentleman treated poorly by Medical Health Professionals, accept my apology on behalf of all of us….equipment from the 80's was as ineffective, as the equipment Americans on the front line had to utilize during 911….just read the medical reports…….you are such wonderful people, for going out there on those rigs….I'm NY Toms very British/Brazilian future wife MD
I worked land rigs – Was a Driller on diesel electric triples in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan from 1994 till 2005. More times than I could count, it was “get it done or we will find someone who will” for dangerous work.
Anything to keep the rig rotating, and get the wells drilled / completed in record time for the oil companies…Few can hack it, many get hurt.
Wild times.
Greed number one
European union countries together resolve internal problems of their respective. Independent country to decide is very difficult. If European union altogether take issues of people then it is easy to solve and greater unity can be achieved and alround development can be possible 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Greed greed greed… always greed behind these tragedies
is this not the reason they the were payed so much for the work? And they were pioneers in their line of work, sadly before safety and equipment were massively improved?
All safety standards and regulations thruout human history are written with blood.
As a Norwegian myself, they sure deserve ALL the help and acknowledgement they require.
But what more can be done, tho help old men with failing health?
More money, while living in a land with free healthcare?
The first pioneers taking to work in outer space wil again wirite new safety standards and regulations with their blood.
Dear people of European countries you are so graceful people but together with daily life pl maintain your religious life and sunday mass and gathering in the church services very important. Without lord Jesus Christ we are nothing because divine providence is must. Wish all best in your daily life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Norway will be Russia very soon
I mean, Norway did bank all that into their wealth fund, taking care of their populace was kinda one of the driving factors behind it right? So…
The Stortingets president is an Iranian Jester!!!
Norway should help its own people first rather than funding hamas and the islamists all over the world.
Why they still working in oil sector? I thought all EU building green energy 😅
Damn, this is like our equivalent to the political treatment of the 9/11 first responders. It's horrible how these workers were and are treated.
Sanction Norway and Kick out Norway of EU.
I made a lot of money the workers and what God is their money now
