There have been a number of incidents at industrial and manufacturing plants.  There was an explosion at the Kinder Morgan Plant in Snyder, Texas on January 31, 2023.  A worker was killed following chemical exposure at the ExxonMobil Olefins Plant in Baytown, Texas on February 17, 2023.  There was a deadly explosion at a metals plant in Bedford, Ohio on February 20, 2023.

Refineries and industrial facilities can pose significant dangers both to workers and to the general public.  When dangerous work is involved, extra precautions must be taken, especially when fires and explosions can occur.  Equipment must be properly inspected and maintained to ensure that accidents do not occur.
