Reacting to Capita Symonds report into the Tank Fire in Western Arm, the Environmental safety Group ESG has said it hopes that critical lessons will be learnt from the accident which tragically claimed the life of a contractor.

This Government-commissioned, comprehensive report outlines in detail the protocols, procedures, and more importantly the devastating condition of both tanks which contributed to the accident on the 31st May 2011. Metallurgical expert from Capita Symonds confirmed both tanks contained numerous perforations which created the conditions for an explosion whilst welding was taking place. These perforations could well have caused the regular, offensive smells in the area during normal operations at the Nature Plant and frequently reported to the ESG by affected residents.
