The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) issued a record $87 million (R683m) fine against oil giant BP for failing to correct safety hazards after a 2005 explosion killed 15 people at its Texas City refinery.
The fine comes after a six-month inspection revealed hundreds of violations of a 2005 agreement to repair hazards at the refinery. It also said the company committed hundreds of new violations.
BP said it believed it was in "full compliance" with the settlement agreement and would work with state officials to resolve the issue. - Sapa-AP
