Transocean had serious safety concerns in Gulf just before explosion


Posted on Aug 05, 2010

Deepwater Horizon (DH) owner Transocean was so concerned about numerous safety violations in its North American operations that it dispatched industry standard bearer Lloyd’s Registry to investigate conditions on the DH and three other Gulf rigs shortly before the April 20 explosion. Among the findings reported by the New York Times were that 40 percent of workers believed company investigations were primarily about assigning blame and 43 percent saying they feared reprisals if they reported safety problems. The report also cited crewmembers who felt many supervisors were promoted without regard to qualifications and deferred maintenance in order to save money.
