There have been a number of incidents at industrial and chemical plants.  A large fire broke out at the Prime Eco Group Chemical Plant in Wharton, Texas on August 2, 2022.  Three workers were injured in an explosion at the TimkenSteel Faircrest Steel Plant in Canton, Ohio on July 26, 2022.  There was an explosion at the Johnson Matthew Catalysts chemical plant in Sevierville, Tennessee on July 21, 2022.

Refineries and plants can pose significant dangers both to workers and to the general public.  When dangerous work is involved, extra precautions must be taken, especially when catastrophic fires or explosions can occur.  When explosive materials are present, it can also endanger those who are exposed to the smoke caused when a fire or explosion occurs.
