Record Fine For BP

Following on from my previous comment on BP Texas City, the  BBC has now reported that BP has been fined a record $87m (£53m) for failing to correct safety hazards at the site.

.
As noted previously, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited 270 violations at the oil refinery. BP said it believed it was in "full compliance" with a 2005 settlement agreement with OSHA and would work with the agency to resolve the issue.

The $87m fine is the largest in OSHA's history.
