About the author

Jonathan Kitchen

Summary

This book, first published in 1977, looks closely at the way in which the law applies to workers out on oil rigs and at the way it regulates the various aspects of their employment. More than that, it looks at the context in which the law is applied, a dynamic industry operating within severe physical, economic and political constraints.
