A wake-up call from Texas City
Two years ago, the US refining industry suffered its worst accident in 20 years at Texas City, causing 15 fatalities and injuring 170 persons. In relation to this, two major investigations recently produced a number of valuable recommendations to the refining industry. However, DNV is not fully convinced and suggests all oil and gas industries should go beyond these reports in order to achieve a major improvement in business and safety performance.
Protecting world famous art
On a bright August Sunday in 2004, two men walked in with guns and came out minutes later with Edvard Munch’s famous artworks; “The Scream” and “Madonna”. Following the robbery, DNV conducted a high-profile security analysis of the Munch museum in Oslo, Norway, focussing on the highest risks to the priceless artworks.
