Question: Does anyone know what gov't agency hires oil rig inspectors?
Should be under the EPA, one would think

Reason I'm asking is, Mr Splanchnik used to work on Oil Rigs, deep diving long ago.

He's been out of work for awhile--tried going to the Democratic Congressman's office in Dover, Ohio to ask, but couldn't get a useful answer. (Basically they gave him a load of crap, told him to call the IOC department of Interior feedback line.)

Anyway, he spent a few hours online searching, found many agencies, but couldn't tell which agency would be the one that oversees oil rig inspectors.

We just want to know where he should send his resume.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance from me and Mr. Splanchnik

5. Thanks REP
I'll tell him to try this.... he's a fantastic worker, this is his area of expertise, he's incredibly honest and has tons of field knowledge. And he needs a job, it's been some years now that he's been stuck doing menial crap.

As he said, he's not an engineer, but see where the engineers got us?

6. Mr Splanchnik sez, "EXACTLY!"
he says, "Someone needs to enforce the protocol, which wasn't done."
He says, probably had a BP guy looking to make a huge bonus, so skipped one small step that would have meant a one or two day delay to make the well secure....

Mr S would be good to do that. and Kick some ass along the way, too.

9. Oh heck, I'll try another kick.
I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people here at DU who might know some good leads. I'd really enjoy saying "SEEE?" to Mr. Splanchnik. ;)
