FROM A SHELL STANLOW INSIDER
I write to make people aware of an incident which happened recently at Stanlow refinery. A hydrogen sulphide leak had developed and an operator, using BA equipment, went onto the unit to investigate. While he was on the unit the BA set developed a problem and he hastily made an exit from the unit. Following the incident the operator submitted a safety report highlighting the failure of the set.
Shortly after the event the operator received a phone call at home from one of my colleagues who tried to persuade him to change his statement about the incident, and to say that the BA set had failed during the pre-use checks. By saying this he was told that the HSE would not need to be involved! The person who contacted the operator was Stuart Warburton, manager of fire and security department.
It concerns me that a man in such a position should demonstrate such disregard for the health, safety and ultimately lives of people who work for him either directly or indirectly.
It seems to be a sign of the times that people are prepared to try and prevent a true and thorough investigation by the HSE, which could prevent a future fatality, just to prevent both themselves and their department from looking bad. I would urge people who work for this man day to day or during emergency situations to think carefully about the value he seems to put on human lives.

The incident is genuine but don’t think the details of the phone call are correct. The operator was contacted but only for detail of the failure for the report.

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.
