Earlier this week the company had said that it would be testing a new alarm system on October 27 between 11.15am and 12.15pm.

This was in addition to its regular weekly testing on Mondays at 11.45am for the north side of the site and on Fridays at 11.45am for the south side.

However, today it revealed that the supplier is unable to attend the Grangemouth site on Friday, to undertake the additional testing of the new alarm system and they have cancelled the planned test.

The alarms would be used on occasions when the company requires those working on its site to muster at various points around the site.

To ensure that the warning system can be heard by all those working here, the alarms may also be audible outwith the site boundary.
