It is about the individuals, the corporate and industry culture has shaped into a strictly performance based arena. These salary and job retention standards cause employees to cut corners and out-perform not only other companies but of itself. The events leading up to the Deepwater horizon disaster were highly visible. The mechanics, engineers and team leaders all had ambiguous roles to the point where the engineering team was concerned with budgets and time frames. Higher instruction from corporate offices fell on deaf ears within the rig because of the culture those highest in the food chain cultivated. The industry is shaped by disasters, BP for example segmented and compartmentalized their depts to give them more control in situations...this exasperated the situation. The industry will never truly be about the environment nor seek to protect it honestly, they will only make publicized attempts to protect themselves. It won't change and can't change.
