Mossmorran: UK safety watchdog seeks prosecution of hydrocarbon leaks at Fife plant

Submitting...
The possible action is separate to last year’s submission to prosecute lodged by Scotland’s environmental watchdog, SEPA, after unscheduled flaring sparked hundreds of complaints from local communities.
Fife Ethylene Plant, Mossmorran
The plant owners said the issues raised by the HSE have been resolved, but news of the move to prosecute led to calls from the Scottish Greens to Michael Matheson, the new Cabinet Secretary for Net Zero to take urgent action over the Fife plant.
The latest development comes as FEP begins a £140m refurbishment - and puts the plant back in the public spotlight.
The HSE report centres on the release of hydrocarbons two years ago, and its website lists a number of impacts on health if exposed to them.
