Unite's reaction to the Health & Safety Commission and Health & Safety Executive report into the integrity offshore installations

21 November 2007

Unite regional officer, Graham Tran said, "There are good oil operators in the North Sea but there are a number of bad players who are putting lives at risk for the sake of a barrel of oil.

Oil companies make huge profits. There is no excuse for falling short on safety. Oil companies must implement the proper procedures and make the necessary upgrades to these installations immediately. Otherwise it's time to name and shame the bad players and have them removed from the North Sea."
