Unions have reported a second mercury poisoning incident at the Chevron-operated Gorgon liquefied natural gas project in Western Australia.
The Offshore Alliance, a coalition between the Australian Workers’ Union and the Maritime Union of Australia, claimed a Contract Resources worker had been contaminated with mercury at the Chevron-operated facility.
It claimed the worker entered a mercury impacted vessel in the Acid Gas Removal Unit at the plant wearing insufficient personal protection equipment for the task.
“Instead of wearing a standard Tyvek suit and respirator, the Contract Resources employee should have been wearing a full air vest for cooling, chemical suit, fully taped gum boots with breathing apparatus,” the Offshore Alliance stated in a social media post late last week.

In December 2020, the Norwegian government approved funding the $1.6 billion Northern Lights project led by Norway’s Equinor, Anglo-Dutch Shell and France’s Total. Northern Lights is the transportation and storage element of Longship – Norway’s pioneering $2.3 billion full-scale carbon capture and storage project, which is planned to include the development and operation of a carbon dioxide transportation and storage network through which Norwegian and European industrial companies emitting carbon dioxide may store their emissions underground. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed as early as 2024.
