In early 2017, I was approached by two Shell whistleblowers, both former Shell Norway safety delegates at the Shell Nyhamna Gas facility.
Runar Kjørsvik was the chief safety officer at the gas facility until he was fired.
Bjørn Tore Røshol took over the office. Runar and his family ended up being the subjects of a surveillance operation. Employees had been exposed to very high and harmful doses of benzene.
Runar accused Shell management of:
- exposing plant employees to benzene contamination.
- manipulating safety-related reports and environment committee meeting minutes.
- cutting him out of important safety-related meetings.
- a surveillance operation resulting in photographic evidence being gathered and handed over to Shell.
- total humiliation inflicted at a meeting called in the presence of 150 co-workers assembled specifically for his ostracisation in the staff canteen. As already indicated, Shell filmed the event.
- systematic harassment by email and heated criticism (being shouted at).
- false accusations by Shell managers concerned about losing their bonuses.
- alleged gossip, smears and false accusations.
- a ban on him from speaking to his fellow Shell employees.
- his wrongful dismissal
- making him the target of a victimisation campaign
Shell admitted a culture of fear at the plant. read more
