Why is the Shell standard seem as the "Holy Grail" of safety?
From my experience, and I've flown for many companies over the world, Shell are the worst. I have done audits for several Oil and Gas companies and Shell are the least flexible, it's BLACK and WHITE, even with things that aren't important become an issue. They DON'T promote safety, it's all about the CHEAPEST price, and that's it !!
I used to work in another Oil and Gas industry on contract to Shell, the same applies there, they talk safety but don't follow though, I could give 10's of examples but my time is limited
