BP Announces New Safety Policing Unit
Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 9:00AM | Benny Martinez | Share Article | Email Article | Print Article BP’s new CEO Bob Dudley is not wasting any time to shuffle the company’s upper echelon in an effort to perform some major damage control after this summer’s Gulf Coast disaster.
Just two days before he officially replaces Tony Hayward, Dudley announced the installment of a new unit whose sole responsibility will be to police the safety practices of the company. The new division will be headed by Mark Bly who also led the investigation into what caused the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“This is a deeply challenging time for BP. The Macondo incident was a tragedy that claimed the lives of 11 people, caused injury to many others and had a widespread environmental impact,” Dudley said in a message to BP staff.
“Our response to the incident needs to go beyond deepwater drilling. There are lessons for us relating to the way we operate, the way we organize our company and the way we manage risk.”
