“Piper Alpha remains a stark reminder that preparedness is not optional—it is essential for survival”.

Deep Water Horizon Blow Out: This disaster claimed the life of 11 people and 17 injured and over 4.9 million barrels of crude oil spilled in to the gulf of mexico caused wide spread damage to marine ecosystem. BP incurred over $60 million in fines, settlement and clean up cost.

“Deep Water Horizon underscores that preparedness alone isn’t enough—fully functional safety systems and swift crisis management are crucial”.
