This episode is a final round exposing the evidence I collected during my time at Amec Foster Wheeler in Kuwait about human rights, ethics and safety violations. Clips:

This episode is in the service of disclosing how safety matters to do with manpower company NBTC Group were handled by Amec Foster Wheeler, superintendent's representative on Kuwait Oil Company projects. Why? In 2024 a fire in an NBTC worker accommodation facility killed 49 men:

One safety breach worsening the effects of the fire was that a door to the roof was locked, stopping them escaping to safety. I provide this disclosure about safety standards 7 years earlier than the fire in order that the public may understand Amec Foster Wheeler did not do enough back then in 2017 to control the poor safety standards of this company. If they had, one wonders if the chances would have reduced of this building fire killing 49 men 7 years later in 2024.
