Private operator Perenco has been served with warnings by the UK safety regulator following the death of a worker on a platform in the southern North Sea in December.

The Indefatigable 23A (Inde 23A) platform was shut in and gas supplies halted following the death of Tyron Jones, 43, from Lowestoft, in a still-unspecified incident on Monday 4 December.

 

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) served an Improvement Notice in relation to “injuries from crushing” and a failure to make “appropriate arrangements for the preventive and protective measures required for the unpacking and movement of equipment”.
