The most influence me of becoming more interested about Safety and Health Officer is when a movie I watch last year called the "Deepwater Horizon". A short summary about the whole movie, April 20, 2010 the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explodes in the Gulf of Mexico, igniting a massive fireball that kills several crew members. Chief electronics technician Mike William and his colleagues find themselves fighting for survival as the heat and flames become stifling and overwhelming. Banding together, the co-workers must use their wits to make it out alive amid all the chaos.
The story line of the movie made me realize on how important is the safety and health and welfare of the workers who work on the oil platform. To those who was wondering what oil platform means, it is a large structure used to house workers and machinery needed to drill and then produce oil and natural gas in the ocean. Oil platform is located in the sea away from coast and was named an offshore oil rig. These are the summary and I will you the reason why I like the about the movie.
Firstly, readiness is important and to be more fully aware of one situation by scanning every task that is given to you. This moral value made me realize that we should be always expected the unexpected to prepare ourselves from any incident or accident that might happen. The part where they just reach the oil platform, the safety and health officer, Jimmy Harrell immediately wanted a full status report of the current situation on the offshore oil rig.
Secondly, preparedness of receiving a job task is another one that made me reflect on what my current situation which unable to perform well in my assignment that my lecturer has assign me but after seeing Mike William done his job without hesitation and even done the job by reporting the malfunction or broken machine immediately to the safety and health officer. It made me realize that the moment you receive a job task or any immediate and important things, be sure to finish it in no time because we never notice time or when the job task needed to be seen or pass up.
Thirdly, be brave in whatever situation that might comes in your way. Mike William was brave and courageous when he saves Jimmy Harrell and his colleagues that have been struck by accidents during the rig explodes. Mike William just charge in to the flames without hesitation and try to locate every possible colleague who might be caught up with accidents.
Lastly, never leave your colleague behind and try to convince them even though the odds are little. Mike William convinced his colleague, Andrea Fleytas to jump with him to save both of them from getting roasted by the flames. They both jump and reach to safety where all of their colleagues gathered in a rescue ship.
Overall, I am glad the story line was brilliant and made me understand how essential it is to always be readiness, preparedness, brave and to never leave your friends or colleagues behind. It was an eye opening to me where the responsibilities of an occupational safety ad health officer played an important role in any possibility of incidents and accidents that may occur.
