Investigators also said "nearly everyone" among the workers they interviewed believed that Transocean's system for tracking health and safety issues on the rig was "counter productive".
Many workers entered fake data to try to circumvent the system. As a result, the company's perception of safety on the rig was distorted, the report concluded.
Transocean's equipment report may shed new light on why the blowout preventer failed to stop the surging well, one of the biggest remaining mysteries of the disaster.

"Any employee, anywhere at any level, if they have any concern about safety, has the ability and, in fact, the responsibility to raise their hand and try to get the operations stopped, whether that's our operations or a contractor's operations," Lamar McKay, chairman and president of BP America, told the House Natural Resources Committee. (CNN,27 May 2010)"

Does it work in reality? Judge it yourself after reading the testimonies by the rig workers.
