‘There’s too many people still getting hurt’: Shell decommissioning boss on onshore dismantling

Bosses at Shell and Step Change in Safety have hit out at onshore decommissioning safety standards, warning that “too many people are still getting hurt”.

Brent decommissioning project director William Lindsay made the comments last week at Decom Offshore, during a session on the industry’s move to onshore dismantling of oil and gas assets.

Speaking in a UK and Norwegian context, he shared six headlines about fatalities and serious injuries from the last two years.
