Tools of the trade...

Roustabout - needs a broom and wellington boots ( with L & R painted on the toecap)

Roughneck - needs gloves, main purpose of which is to catch the finger parts when they are chopped off....(Which must not be classed as a lost time incident!)
Needs 15 pound hammer to adjust equipment.

Derrickman - Needs rubber gloves and an apron, not for mixing purposes, but for private activities after work.
Plastic bottle essential to relieve oneself high in derrick, or failing that, must have good aiming skills so as to avoid hitting colleagues working below.

Assistant driller - Scientific calculator required and it must have + and - keys!

Driller - padded boiler suit, as sitting down for 12 hours everyday can be sore.

Toolpusher - Better calculator than assistant driller!
Bigger bottle than Derrickman!
Bigger hammer than Roughnecks!
Tally book, to provide notes that can be used to save your arse when all those below you drop you in it!
Television remote controller.
Necklace with 'drill bit' charm optional.
Finally a magic marker pen to mark all your equipment from computer chairs, computers, tally book, coffee pot....

Company man - does not require anything....as he has it all, been there, done that!
