Oil Refinery Injuries
Our Nation’s oil refineries are dangerous by
nature. While refinery workers know that risk is involved
in their jobs, they expect their employers to take proper
steps to ensure them the safest working environment
possible.
Unfortunately, that is often not the case. We’ve
seen countless refinery injuries caused or made worse
by unsafe work conditions. Employers, making millions
and millions of dollars, need to know that refinery
workers deserve steps towards a safe workplace, just
like everyone else.
