[BITList] manslaughter

[FA]

Colin,
If they were the companymen on the rig Then the person with the 
responsibility for the rig and its equipment belongs to the rig owners 
Representative normally the rig superintendent. The companyman says what 
he wants but its the rig supt say on how it it is done, of course the 
companyman has the right to have the rig supt replaced so its a pretty 
tenuous situation, Ive never seen a companyman get rid of a rig supt but 
have seen them get rid of nearly all of the other ranks at one time or 
another so Really its down to the rig supt in my opinion as he has to 
have the balls to stand up to the clients reps
