There is a lot of talk about safety culture. In my mind, I wonder if these individual really know what a real safety culture look like. Looking opinions and comments.
The U.S. risks a repeat of the 2010 Macondo oil spill as its “wildcat culture” fails to put a premium on safety and security, the co-chairman of the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill said.
“U.S. oil and gas culture is the culture of the wildcat that’s been transferred offshore,” Bob Graham said today in an interview at an oil conference in Abu Dhabi. “The Gulf of Mexico had a culture of complacency. For every one fatality in the North Sea, there were four in the Gulf of Mexico.”
“In the North Sea, anyone can stop an operation,” Smith said in an interview at the same conference. “You can’t have a situation where operators have to do things they don’t feel are safe. It costs money to stop but it’s worth it.”
