The Cullen Reports

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cullen Report)

The Cullen Report can refer to one of three reports of public inquiries into UK disasters that were overseen by William Cullen, Baron Cullen of Whitekirk.

Piper Alpha

[edit]

The first Cullen Report was prompted by Occidental Petroleum's Piper Alpha disaster on 6 July 1988,[1] in which gas condensate ignited, killing 167 of the 229 people on board the oil platform in only 22 minutes.[2]

Dunblane Massacre

[edit]

In 1996, Lord Cullen led the inquiry into the massacre at Dunblane Primary School.[3]

Ladbroke Grove

[edit]

The third Cullen Report was a result of Lord Cullen's appointment to chair the 1999 Ladbroke Grove Rail Inquiry.[4]
