4/1 (4 weeks on/1 week off) roster should be illegal. Big corporations don't care about their health and wellbeing. It's the 9th life taken from Inpex’s Ichthys project, Darwin project. Why aren't they doing anything?
I have done 4/1 roster for about 2 years and called it quits. It was very depressing and isolated. Living in the middle of nowhere and away from friends and family. Good for short term but not long term. It will destroy you inside and out. I feel for those family what they are going through. There has been a constant battle for 4/1 roster to be reduced to a better family roster like 2/1 or 3/1 where unions fighting hard for it. There are somewhat precautions inside your little room where there are posters where you can call up to free counselling services but I highly doubt they work. From a 4/1 roster, 42 weeks on site and bout 10 weeks back home. 4/1 roster where you work 10 hrs everyday. If you can't do the roster, should think about your mental health and find another job where you will be happy and go for lesser salary. Money isn't everything. When you die, you can't bring your money to the grave, can you? I think 2 or 3 people have taken their live at my LNG site.
