Houston Toxic Chemical Injury Lawyers
Oil refineries are an important source of well-paying jobs for Houston’s workers and they have been for a very long time. These facilities are not, however, without notable drawbacks. Though typically safe, workplace accidents can occur in a refinery just as they strike on construction sites or in other job settings. Unfortunately, refinery accidents are made more dangerous as a consequence of the highly toxic and flammable chemicals that are involved in the refining process. The slightest lapse in the maintenance, storage, or handling of these substances can expose workers to the risk of severe injury or death.

Dangerous Refinery Chemicals
The refining process is complex, and there are many different chemicals that pose a threat to the safety of workers or people in the vicinity of a refinery at the time of an accident. In some cases the effects of toxic exposure may appear to be fairly minor at first, only to prove far more severe as internal injuries progress. The failure to provide adequate safety equipment, training, or other essential items may constitute negligence, especially when these or other chemicals are found at the facility:
- Hydrofluoric acid
- Sulfuric acid
- Chlorine gas
- Sulfur dioxide
