Types of Petrochemical Accidents and Injuries

The most frequent type of accident on a petrochemical site is an explosion, causing immediate injury and death. However, explosions also release toxic fumes into the air, causing long-term problems for workers and people in the area. Inhalation injuries, groundwater pollution, and post-traumatic stress among workers are some of the consequences of an explosion. We have found that many explosions are caused by negligent startup after a shutdown of the facility.

Other accidents include vehicular accidents caused by a lack of enforcement of on-site traffic rules. Ship injuries are common, especially among workers loading or unloading product from a ship in the Houston Ship Channel. In many cases, accidents occur because of OSHA violations or violations of other federal safety rules, regulations and standards. Other cases stem from an expansion of a refinery beyond the original capacity of the site.
