Report: Transocean rig workers lived in a culture of fear

Things were apparently regarded as so unsafe on several Transocean oil platforms that the company rushed Lloyd’s Registry to investigate shortly before the April 20 Deepwater Horizon (DH) explosion. The New York Times reports that investigators looked into the safety atmosphere on the DH and three other rigs in the Gulf after a series of serious accidents and “near-hits” throughout Transocean’s 14 platforms spread across the Gulf; the company operates 139 around the world. Lloyd’s came back with some alarming findings which included 43 percent of workers expressing fears of company retribution for reporting safety violations.
