This is why a good alarm shelving program is important. We have two products that handle this. Alarm Dynamics' SAM for Honeywell TDC3000 and TPS systems and AgileOps List Management for any OPC accessible platform. Our website should be on my profile.
Unbelieveable! The general alarm had been inhibited for a year! This is a very very serious breach of safety, because the rig can be on fire and it requires someone to manually set of the alarm (which tells people to go to a safe muster location). It underlines the lack of respect for safety and safety systems....
The morel of the story is never point fingers until all the facts are in. In other words never contract out to crappy engineering and shoddy risk assessment like the US company Transocean.
Ahh, they're all a bunch of lying crooks. This is what happens when growth, stock-price and bonus are priority one. It's why our healthcare sucks. The fuckers would rather see you dead than miss analysts earnings estimates for the quarter. It's why these drug companies keep putting out shit that kills ya. Almost everything they put out does more harm than good. And that "in the pocket' FDA keeps approving their toxic shit. Crony Capitalism at it's best. Every industry has its own criminal niche.
@BrotherJosephSkinner Standard operating procedures--The U.S.Navy announces "this is not a drill" for over 6 decades. That is actually normal.
Too many drills and people get complacent. Hear "this is not a drill!" one time and it tends to put the fear of God in you because like on a naval ship there is nowhere to run.
I wonder if you took the batteries out of your fire alarm and your house burnt down would your insurance company cover you if they found out?
If you had a hotel and you disconnected your fire alarm and the hotel burnt down killing or injuring your customers, would you be responsible for their deaths or injuries?
If you owned an oil rig and your "inhibited" the alarm system...
He is "going for the money", sure. But that does not mean he is lying, necessarily.
I have heard more than once from people who work for big companies such as BP/Transocean tell me tales of systemic saftey neglect in order to boost thier bosses quarterly profits. ...and lawyers, whether for profit, or justice, or both; depend upon eyewitness to make their case( in addition to other evidence.)
He could be lying, but,it wouldn't surprise me if he's being honest.
The Gulf tragedy is yet another laissez-faire / GOP made disaster, like the banking meltdown & permitting health insurers to lock out millions of sick Americans for decades.

The government working with the corporate elite have systematically disregarded all worker safety and environmental concerns. Any employee that voices a complaint will be either fired or punished. The Federal government and courts back them up on this every step of the way. I'm speaking from 1st hand experience. Anybody that believes the alarms where turned off to protect the workers sleep are delusional.
@MARSTEC1 The alarm was not the cause, unless of course u want 2 believe that. The biggest cause of alarms sounding at night is not because of gas but because of a fault n the system. Just like a driller silencing the flow show alarm & the well starts kicking yet he doesnt notice it because his audible alarms r silenced. In actuality the flow show alarm being disabled is more a possible cause than the gas alarms. u MUST show an increase in flow BEFORE the gas gets 2 surface.
You know if you bypass your car alarms or turn off your home alarms that just puts yourself in danger. by not wanting to be inconvienced they killed the Gulf of Mexico.
There is so much wrong in so many ways with this BP Clusterf@#k one doesn't even know where to begin.
@valhala56 Info missing from this video is that when he was talking about questioning why the alarms were off he was talking to Transocean officials and not BP. i.e. Transocean turned off the alarms for their own employees not BP.

Look, alarms are annoying. I'm sleeping & some alarm goes off, warning of disaster. I got to get up & check it out. Sometimes there's a fire, a gas leak, or nothing. I just hate getting up, so I complained to BP. BP said they were tired of all the complaints, the engineers said it would take months to figure out the false alarms, so BP management said turn the damn alarms off. Just put them on the list of crap that we don't give one rat's ass about. Hey, this is an OiRig, it's a dangerous place.
