I see that the majority of the workers are wearing a harness. The oil industry seems to have inherited the 1800's Steam Power Industry's interest in building things of multiple human size. Pretty impressive, in general
This is a very good piece. Explains a lot for those with some knowledge of the OilPatch.
Climbing harnesses are manditory if you work more than head-high.
This thing sure sounds like T/O cut a few corners and tried to save a buck or two. BP Inspectors should have stopped T/O as BP probably didn’t get any discount.
I know a Safety Eng, with T/O, haven’t talked with him, but will bet your booty they are doing a whole lot of review and revision of Safety Procedures and probably wholesale replacements of rig and Safety management.
Helluva 2-wheeler they got, huh?
