Refinery Accidents - Not Without National Attention
Although refinery accidents are much less common than other workplace accidents when measuring strictly by number of occurrences that lead to deaths, when they do occur, the results are devastating. There have been several recent explosions and other incidents that led to many workers being killed or permanently injured. A few examples of these include:
- 22 people killed in BP refineries between 1995 and 2005
- 80 deaths overall during that same time period
- More than 100 injuries from one blast at a refinery in Texas City
- OSHA enhancing enforcement as a result of the rise in injuries and deaths
