BP's code of conduct includes this: "health, safety, security and the environment-fundamental rules and guidance to help us protect the natural environment, the safety of the communities in which we operate, and the health, safety and security of our people" (BP, 2010).
But Seidman (2010) said this: "Many of the factors thought to have led to the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig were the result of bad decisions in which a less expensive option-whether to run a test or use a particular kind casing pipe, for example-was consistently chosen over one that would have cost more money."
