Monday Accident & Lesson Learned: The Deposition
I was looking on-line for video footage of the BP Texas City Explosion and I ran across the BP Texas City Explosion web site site up by Brent Coon, an attorney handling one of the lawsuits filed against BP.
What an eye opener!
If you work in safety or management of a highly hazardous facility, review this site in detail. Read the depositions. Watch the videos. Think of how you could answer the questions if something was to go wrong at your site.
Especially watch these three videos of deposition:
Kathleen Lucas - Operations Manager at BP Texas City
Joe Barnes – Head of HSSE at BP Texas City
Bill Ralph – Head of Process Safety at BP Texas City
Are you adequately trained to perform your job? How much training in process safety and root cause analysis do you need? Could your qualifications stand up to a deposition?

There is a very good video simulation of the Texas City incident on the US Chemical Safety Board's web site. It can be downloaded and used without charge.
Note there are also several others there as well. They make excellent awarenss and teaching tools for operations personnel.
