As for the safety violations. Can you back that up, I mean not that there were not any violations but the statement "more than any other oil company in the world".

The violations are determined when an employer demonstrated either an "intentional disregard for the requirements of the [law], or showed plain indifference to employee safety and health."
OSHA statistics show BP ran up 760 "egregious, willful" safety violations, while Sunoco and Conoco-Phillips each had eight, Citgo had two and Exxon had one comparable citation.

BP have done more than any poxy federal government unit have done regarding this spill.
