New safety app will link workers to union officials
NORTH SEA oil and gas workers will be able to report safety concerns via a mobile phone app from today.
The app, called Blowout, is being launched by trade union RMT to provide a confidential line to union officials.
The union says workers are often fearful of reporting hazards due to the threat of blacklisting.
