Shell failing to do enough to prevent “major accidents” at north east site

Offshore giant Shell has been accused of breaking safety rules at its site at the huge St Fergus gas terminal.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has issued an improvement notice for the second time in just over a year after it emerged not enough was being done to prevent “major accidents” at the complex north of Peterhead.
The HSE accused Shell of failing to take “all measures necessary” to identify tasks which had the potential to cause a “critical” situation.
It told the company: “You have failed to adequately identify the safety critical tasks which have potential to initiate, escalate, recover from, or mitigate the consequences of, a major accident at the St Fergus gas plant.”


The TRUTH will set you FREE.
