I'm gonna crawl out my arse and say you are way off on this one.
I think it all depends on the company and the platform, platform management and training.
Most big oil companies spend a lot of time and money on reputation management. Pollution is the last thing they want to have to deal with.
Where I work, if you drop anything overboard accidently, you have to report it and it goes into the deck log. If the weather is good, it will be retrieved, if it floats.
If you throw something overboard on purpose, you won't be doing it again.
