Refinery Workers
|
 |
Refinery workers in refineries are exposed to a
whole host of occupational hazards. Every day,
refinery workers, including those employed by
outside contractors, are needlessly injured.
Unfortunately, safety is not always of prime
importance, no matter what the company signs say.
Once ingested or inhaled,
lead is moved through the bloodstream and
organs to the bones where it is stored. Lead
poisoning can occur from gradual buildup in the
body through repeated exposure of small amounts,
or through a single high toxic exposure.
|
|
Particularly at risk of injury or toxic exposure are
painters, sandblasters, welders, pipe fitters,
cleanup crew, and turnaround/shutdown workers.
Refinery workers work in a dangerous
environment. The nature of refinery operations
is inherently dangerous but the dangers increase
when companies "talk the talk" and don't "walk
the walk." Some of the dangers that workers face
at refineries are injuries from:
- Fires
- Explosions
- Product Leaks
- Lead Poisoning
- Silica Exposure
- Unsafe Scaffolding
- Heat Exposure
- Benzene Exposure
- Falling
- ... much more
