FATALITY AT NORTH RANKIN COMPLEX

 

An incident occurred at approximately 12.00pm AWST today on the offshore
Woodside-operated North Rankin Complex which has tragically resulted in the
death of an employee of one of Woodside's contractor companies.

 

The incident occurred during work activity being carried out at the North
Rankin Complex. All other people on board are safe.

 

Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said, "This is a very sad day for the extended
Woodside family and I offer my deepest sympathy to our colleague's family,
friends and workmates.

 

"Any loss of life is heartbreaking.

 

"We are taking all steps to understand the circumstances around this tragic
event and are co-operating closely with Western Australian Police and the
National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Emergency Authority in their ongoing
investigations."

 

Senior Woodside executives are travelling to Karratha and counselling and
support services are being made available to employees and contractors through
our Employee Assistance Program.
