About MeThis manual was for use aboard the ill fated Piper Alpha platform which exploded due to poor management of safe work procedures by the US operator Occidental in 1988. This disaster claimed the lives of 167 workers.
Such operational manuals covered all aspects of the platform and how it actually functioned.
