The price of going Beyond Petroleum

Blame for BP disaster laid at the feet of Lord Browne and his board

Report says 15 died in blast because cost cuts compromised safety and warnings were ignored Andrew ClarkWednesday March 21, 2007The Guardian
The four BP oil workers who were filling a vertical tank with chemicals when it exploded in America's worst industrial accident for a generation had all been working 12-hour shifts for more than four weeks without a day off.
In a final report into the Texas City disaster, which killed 15 people through "blunt force trauma" as they were hit by flying metal two years ago, American regulators have called on the oil industry to impose airline-style limits to the days and hours worked by staff who are in critical safety roles.
