Stay clear of the flare boom, usually mounted to one side of the platform itself. Sometimes there are BIG flames coming out of them......

Keep an eye out for choppers flying crews out to the rig too.
Some rigs are "not normally manned". They, obviously, have nobody on board to talk too but there will still be regular chopper flights ferrying maintenance crews to them.
