A key offshore-drilling policy that includes safety measures implemented after the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill was finalized by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. The policy requires independent blowout-preventer reviews and also covers new well-design standards. "We are reviewing the rule and hope that they carefully considered the language used in the document to allow certainty and clarity for the industry. Our No. 1 priority is safety," said Reid Porter, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute.

ReplyDeleteThanks for reading.
Too often, occupational accidents are considered a price of progress in developing countries. but they also occur in advanced nations. Whether we challenge nature at thirteen thousand feet underground in a South African gold mine or thirty-nine thousand feet below sea level exploring for oil in the Gulf of Mexico or at three hundred thousand kilometers in space en route to the moon—accidents can and will happen despite the best safety regulations. Human beings make mistakes, and sometimes equipment fails. Mothers often protest that they were only distracted for an instant when their child disappeared. “Pilot error” is still the leading cause of airplane crashes!
ReplyDeleteIndustrial, mining and, consumer safety should never be compromised for profits; neither should margins of safety where food and pharmaceutical products are concerned. Aircraft, space vehicle, and automobile manufacturing as well as the production of power tools and equipment are further examples of industrial safety challenges—as are consumer products, from toasters, to contact lenses, to cribs—especially imported cribs. Then there are procedural and processing standards that require constant upgrading in chemical plants and hospitals as technology advances. There are safety concerns regarding the very frontiers of science. These include the safety of our astronauts in space exploration, the safety of people downrange of sites from which military and civilian rockets are launched, and the safety of offshore and land-based drilling for oil and gas, to name but a few.
