£9.5m bill for 5 companies

Five companies have been ordered to pay £9.5 million for their part in the 2005 fire and explosion at the Buncefield Oil Storage Depot, in Hertfordshire.

The £1.3 million in fines for the pollution caused are a record in the UK. The £3million fines for Total are the second highest to be handed down for safety offences.

Concluding a four-month trial at St Albans Crown Court, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said the companies had shown "a slackness, inefficiency and a more or less complacent attitude to safety."
