BP refinery audit uncovers widespread cracks in safety culture
An internal BP audit that the company refused to make public for months identified an array of management and safety problems at the company's Texas City refinery in the aftermath of an explosion that killed 15 workers, according to an article in the Houston Chronicle.
BP ordered the review in June after the March blast and released it late last month. Significant lapses in leadership, risk awareness, compliance and workplace conditions were cited by the audit team, which included ten high-ranking managers at other BP refineries or corporate HQ among the 17 reviewers.
