Global Alliance Bulletin - Serious Near Miss

Please see below self explanatory extract from a Global Alliance bulletin.

From: Martin Rackley Global Alliance HSSE Manager Ref. No B/08 18/03/2008

This situation was
captured on one of our
sites last Friday. It shows
two of our Principal
Contractors staff. While
one operates the forklift,
his colleague is balanced
on a pallet suspended on
the forks. Both thought
that getting the job done
was more important than
working safely. Neither
thought to speak with the
Site Manager first.

Our last newsletter contained an article on unsafe working including the following warning.
“If you are tempted to cut corners on our sites, think of the consequences for yourself, your
family and your employer”.

The consequences in this case are:
• Both individuals are prohibited from working on BP projects in future.

• Both individuals have been dismissed by their employer for gross misconduct and
violation of their company health & safety rules.
