Beard Oil

Looking for a job as an electrician on a ship drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico and I was wondering if the beard is acceptable on board. I know it is difficult to use a mask that is tite air with a beard. Has he or has worked aboard the ship who can answer my question?

I worked in the oil industry in the electrical department of a plant oil and the quick answer is "no beard!".

When you go to an interview if you are serious about doing the work, you will be clean shaven so just keep it like that until you get the job. Then after obtaining employment check with your boss and Security Department on how much facial hair is permitted. There is generally permitted. A short trimmed mustache is ok, 1 favorites below the ear may be permitted and a little shade is ok but check first or you will be given a razor and shaving said.

If you are not willing to shave, I suggest you look for work elsewhere. They are not likely to make an exception because of the security implications.

In general, requirements call for a small beard and mustache or goatee, so that the mask will make a tight face seal.

No beards allowed. I have family members who work on oil platforms at sea and they are not allowed to have beards.

No beards allowed. Policy varies from company regarding the whiskers, the Stingers, goatee, etc.. Might as well be resigned to having to shave it all.

its ok with me
