A Union leader has called for oil giant Shell to quit the North Sea.
Unite’s Amicus regional officer Graham Tran made the demand after a Health and Safety Executive investigation upheld unions’ concerns over safety.
The unions claimed there were gaps in “safety-critical” positions on the five installations which are being sold by Shell.
And the HSE confirmed that aspects of the complaint from the OILC and Unite unions were justified.
Mr Tran, pictured, said he wanted to see Shell leave British waters.
He said: “They have no credibility in terms of safety at this moment in time in the North Sea.
“As far as I am concerned there is a permanent for sale sign on Shell’s assets in the North Sea.
“I believe the sooner they leave British waters the better for the sake of the safety of all workers – before there is another serious incident on a Shell installation.”
The unions said complaints over workloads, management culture, working hours were upheld by the HSE. But concerns over emergency response team numbers were not.
The HSE said: “Shell has taken action to address the matters and ensure its own procedures are followed and monitored and, where necessary, additional measures are implemented.”
A spokeswoman for Shell said they were addressing safety concerns: “Safety remains our first priority.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
