Job ID: FM02/10
Purpose of Job:
. To establish and maintain a Quality Management System to monitor compliance with EASA/CAA/DCA regulatory requirements.
. To develop and maintain an effective Safety Management System.
If you are really good, once you have developed and established those systems and handed over to the locals to maintain perhaps you'll get the chance to head off to help Nigeria's new premier operator!
I think after finishing in Brunei,whoever gets the job can head off to Nigeria to help both Caverscam and Shell, neither of who have a clue.
The decision of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) to ignite a new flare in Opolo-Epie, Bayelsa State, is further testament to the company's flagrant disregard for the people and environment of the Niger Delta and a direct threat to government's efforts to bring about genuine and lasting peace in the region, the Environmental Rights Action/Friends of the Earth Nigeria (ERA/FoEN) has cautioned.
ERA/FoEN's warning is coming against the backdrop of field monitoring reports over the weekend that confirmed the Opolo-Epie flare lit by the oil giant on Sunday June 13, 2010, is still raging, fouling the air and threatening the peace that exists in the community.
In a statement issued in Lagos, the environmental justice group described the development as "worrying," warning that it was a throwback to a similar action by the company at the Gbaran/Ubie Gas Gathering Plant in nearby Gbarantotu Community in November, 2009, which was put out only after ERA/FoEN and members of the community mobilized and kicked against it.
More flaring
"It simply beats the imagination what the rationale is behind Shell's igniting of a new flare barely days after it announced it had downed the volume of flares in the Niger Delta by 65 per cent because of so-called gas gathering infrastructure that will gulp an estimated $3 billion at completion. But we can, however, try to input that that announcement was mere propaganda," said ERA/FoEN Executive Director, Nnimmo Bassey.
"While it may not be too surprising that Shell is taking this course of action due to our own government's double-speak and excuses on why flares continue, we are emphatic that Shell must respect the rights of the Opolo-Epie Community and the generality of Niger Delta people to a pollution-free environment by halting the noxious plumes." According to Mr Bassey, it was the height of insensitivity for flare sites to be set up at a time the global community has risen with one voice to condemn the practice, even as he added that successive administrations have demonstrated insincerity in halting routine gas flaring or put in place appropriate sanctions that will guarantee an end to it.
He explained that gas flaring is a monumental waste of Nigeria's natural resources, and a mark of unacceptable double standards by the oil companies, which not only contributes to greenhouse emission but also violates the rights of the communities around the flare sites, and must stop immediately.
"We have said it time and again that Shell's much-touted investments in the so-called gas gathering infrastructure is only a ruse to buy time and perpetrate flaring. This is evidence that the wellbeing of oil-bearing communities means nothing to the company and it remains indefensible. The flares in Opolo-Epie and other sites in the Niger Delta must stop now," Mr Bassey said.
But then again, I guess if they couldn't take a joke the locals should never have been born
