By OGJ editors

HOUSTON, Jan. 18 -- Cameron Controls Pres. Jack B. Moore has issued a safety alert to purchasers of a production control system that contains a high-pressure accumulator used in subsea and related production control systems.

The alert followed fatal injuries Jan. 10 to an employee of Cameron Controls in the Houston-based company's Celle, Germany, facility during a routine disassembly of the high-pressure accumulator.

Internal experts and external authorities are investigating.

"While we do not believe there is a safety risk associated with the normal operation or routine maintenance of these units, we have asked that clients refrain from disassembling these accumulators until our investigation is complete," Moore said.
