This toxic archive is a gift. It is taken from The Sandwell Chronicle of 26th October 1996.
As always with this company, and not that many years before their demise, they are about desperately trying to promote themselves as safety conscious employers who are also about protecting the environment. The ghastly Chemical Industries Association and their CEFIC euro counterparts are likewise of similar ilk, buttering up politicians for favours granted, and weakening safety laws regards harmful chemicals- like cancer causing round up for example.
Peter Bloore was of course the very worst public relations liar who could not make safe a shot on a snooker table against a blind quadriplegic opponent about to pass out. The fact that similar garbage peddlers like him were amassing in Trinity Street would have been a good time for that place to have blown up with them. I have recorded his greatest whoppers in this post.
As for the poor dummy, what an incredible metaphor for their employees and how they were actually treated.
The context of this safety day occurred just a couple of weeks after a massive Albright and Wilson fire and explosion at their Avonmouth site! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG THAT THEIR PLANNING COULD NEVER FORSEE?
