The reason a lot of companies in the UK , waive the health and safety policy is about blame if they have given you a policy to follow and you haven't followed it then corporately the director's aren't responsible it's your fault so if somebody gets injured or killed they don't go to court for corporate manslaughter because Dave insisted that the procedure is followed and that is why health and safety is a high priority in a lot of companies it's to keep the directors out of jail

The caption under the photograph says "In Dry Dock" . Further down it states she was sitting "alongside the dock". Could this be another example of inaccurate reporting?

Out of curiosity, for the media what constitutes accurate reporting?

Anyone who has carried sulphur will know the combustion properties of such. It can be a bit shocking if not used to it , but if discharging by grab everytime the grab hit the coaming it caused a spark which caused an immediate flare up of the sulphur fumes. Fortunately these never seemed to ignite to cause the cargo to burn, more like a flash in the pan sort of flare up. However hoses with running water were kept handy during discharge just in case. JWS.
