The USW is providing a weekly list of process safety upsets and refinery events to inform our members and the public of how frequent these incidents happen at U.S. oil refineries. The information listed is from the Department of Energy website and only includes incidents that have been reported to the government and the media.
Many process safety incidents go unreported. When the USW was in talks with the American Petroleum Institute (API) and oil industry, it proposed that a majority of process safety events be reported to the public. The API and industry shied away from that proposal.
The USW will continue to press for transparency in the oil industry. If necessary, the union will work through the regulatory agencies and Congress to resolve the lack of comprehensive reporting of process safety incidents.
