REFINERY ACCIDENTS

  The biggest dangers at any oil refinery, workers will tell you, are fire and explosion. Either of these situations can also lead to inhalation of toxic fumes.

Refinery owners are obligated to provide a work environment that is properly maintained, meeting safety and environmental guidelines and regulations. When a fire or explosion occurs at a refinery, causing serious injury and death to those around, violations and negligence in maintenance are immediately scrutinized.
