Sembcorp did not even call the Police and SCDF at all about their accident. It was a member of the public who called. And both Police and SCDF admitted that they did not have to do anything.
When you see an accident, you call the police and ambulance. Yet the management did not see it fit to even call either party when the rig tilted and people were rushing off in one gangway (1000 people working on it then) or jumping into the sea. And whom did they call? MOM!!! Was that their priority? Where is the common sense?
The injured were sent to clinics nearby in LORRIES! A cub scout would know that you do not even move anyone too much when dealing with injuries of this sort. Moving them could have worsened their conditions or broken some more bones. As Dr Dana Srither, a medical director quoted in the newspapers said, "It is very dangerous for the injured to me moved onto lorries by untrained personnel." Where is the common sense?
And what was the company's rationale for behaving so stupidly? "Emergency services were not alerted immediately (they were never alerted, anyway)because the in-house medical team was able to handle the situation."
And how big was this in-house medical team: ONE IN-HOUSE DOCTOR AND FOUR "INDUSTRIAL" NURSES!!!!! (We assume that all of them were on duty at that point in time).
And why only one gangway? This is really hilarious, if not for the fact that lives were at stake with such casual attitudes about safety:
"The CEO said that usually there were two gangways. However, one had been taken off because there were fewer people working. This was also to facilitate the jacking tests when the accident happened.:
FCUK ME - you have 1,000 employees working on the rig when tests were being conducted for the jacks? Where is the common sense?
Oh well, it could have been worse, I guess.
