The Law Office of Ford & Laurel will defend your rights when you get injured in an Industrial environment.

Out of 124 Oil and Petroleum Refineries in the US, 27 are in Texas.

This means that Texas has more Refineries then any other State of the Union.

There are inherent risks to work in Refineries, but that shouldn’t mean that you as an employee or subcontractor do not have the right to work in a safe and well kept environment.

It is the refineries responsibility to abide by Osha and CSB (Chemical Safety Board) regulations and to make sure that these requirements translate into the workplace.

Industrial & Refinery accidents are on the rise and effect employees and contractors alike.
For too long the refineries have been plagued by disasters that might have been preventable. As long as profit is placed above of real work place safety these terrible accidents can and will happen. Now we all know that some of these incidents are exactly that, accidents. That should not give the oil companies the right to neglect and slack on their oversight. They need to keep the high safety standards required by Osha, and put the lives of their employees and contractors before the profits they for sure will make.
