Shells poor regard for safety and their terrible communications over the last 10 days should be ringing major alarm bells…”
Last weeks North Sea oil spill was not the first time Shell had found itself in trouble. Environment Editor Rob Edwards reports
Shell has been officially censured for breaking safety rules 25 times in the last six years and has one of the worst safety records of the major oil companies in the UK, an investigation by the Sunday Herald has revealed.
The British oil multinational has been prosecuted, fined and formally reprimanded for repeatedly failing to maintain pipelines and other vital equipment in the North Sea, for failing to report a dangerous incident, and for failing to protect workers from hazardous chemicals.
The revelations, from records held by the Governments Health and Safety Executive (HSE), have led to renewed criticism of Shell in the wake of last weeks oil leak from a pipeline to the Gannet Alpha platform 112 miles east of Aberdeen. The company has been slammed for failing to be open about the leak, which it claimed to have sealed on Friday.
