Lose weight or lose your jobs, North Sea offshore workers told

North Sea oil workers are being urged to lose weight to meet new safety rules imposed by Offshore Energies UK, requiring workers to be under 124.7kg for helicopter winch safety. Over 2,200 workers are above this limit and may risk losing their jobs. Industry experts have given workers until November next year to meet the weight limit or face being excluded from offshore work, emphasizing the importance of a healthier workplace.
