Call Patty at GGS and ask her about that. They have guards in TX, OK, MS, LA and I believe NM.

We did a gig the first of the year in TX. Health reasons caused a move to a different state. Does anyone know if our security
licenses can transfer like our driver license?

The mercury has hit 106 here the last few days. They had a spud meeting this a.m. and Alterra (I think I spelled that right) put on a shrimp boil. Whoo Hoo! Boiled shrimp, new potatoes and corn. Almost made the temps bearable. Our EOG boys sure are good to us!

Pretty sure it doesn't work that way. Every state has different requirements and a different test.

How else would they get money out of you.

It was a matter of time before the Oil Industry, which is scared of unsafe practices or somebody leasing the neighbor by paying the neighbor too much, the accident lawyer getting some info, had to clamp down on the info leaks. As a person who has worked in the Industry, it seems like over kill for a simple contract job?

Employee or Contractor? What is the dividing line?

A note sent out by ? points out that oil and gas companies prohibit the disclosure of their confidential and proprietary information. This includes, but is not limited to, using the name of the company drilling on site, the equipment used, information about drilling and fracing, the amount of traffic coming and going on site, our activities while on site, the identity of the visitors coming and going, the oil company's communications with us, information about the traffic logs, and any information about the company we are assigned to. No photos are allowed.

So much grey area.

With the nondisclosure agreement firmly in place, I have concerns for how folks are going to get any sort of training in the field. I have resurrected my blog as a training aide if anyone wants REAL information about how to go about doing the job properly.

Comments are welcome and encouraged as there are many terrific ideas that others bring to the table. However, no information that would violate a nondisclosure agreement will be allowed, and will be deleted immediately.

Well , I think it's BS and some are overreacting. I'm sure glad I didn't have to sign anything like that. I would hope that the majority of us would not need a signed document to guide us in what we should or shouldn't say. Like they say "The two percent make it extremely difficult for the ninety eight percent to do anything". Anyway, my blog will remain active and anyone who wishes to contact me can do so. www.workampingstories.blogspot.com

It seems like anyone who works for any gate-guard company other than GGS can still communicate anything they want and take all the pictures they want.
It doesn't bother me to sign their non-disclosure agreement. We can still talk about gate-guarding, we just can't disclose specific information and names.
