Refinery & Plant
Explosions and chemical releases are won on records the operator controls. Maintenance logs, alarm histories and turnaround documents tell the truth, and they do not stay available forever.
The third parties are the case
Your employer is shielded by comp. Turnaround and maintenance contractors, equipment manufacturers, engineering and design firms, and chemical suppliers are not, and they carry real coverage.
The standards are the benchmark
OSHA Process Safety Management, the EPA Risk Management Program, and recognized and generally accepted good engineering practice define what should have happened. Departure from them is the negligence case, already written down.
The records go first
Distributed control system data, process hazard analyses and pre-startup safety reviews establish what the operator knew and when. A preservation demand goes out before the internal incident review closes ranks.
We have tried this
Josh Powell recovered $32.2 million for a client catastrophically burned when a plant ignored its own safety protocols and triggered an explosion.
