Morupule B environmental disaster

Mmegi: This week BPC inadvertently revealed the extent of the crisis at the power station when it published adverts in local newspapers calling for companies who can clear up the mess at the site. The strongly worded ad reveals that BPC is concerned with "the safety and environment record to-date". The advert says a risk manager had been sent to site. "Considering the large number of workers at the site (approximately 2,400), the working hours (seven days a week and in some plant locations there is a day and swing shift) and the safety and environmental record to-date, it is proposed to contract a safety and environmental firm to supplement the BPC Safety, Health and Environment Officer", the ad says in its preamble. BPC therefore seeks "to ensure that health, safety and environmental violations are quickly resolved to the satisfaction of BPC and the relevant authorities".
