    Post: Workplace Chemical Exposure

    Posted by MARC on 1/06/06


    The yr. was 1992 when a FCCU unit in a oil refinery
    installed closed cyclones during a turnaround. As a result
    to this a large amount of steam was needed to start the
    unit, more than engineering expected because the sour water
    pumps were to small to keep up. So managment decided to
    drain the excess to the ground (atmos). myself and another
    co-worker were working 50 yards down wind at the time and
    decided to exit area, they set a supervisor to keep us in
    the area because the unit counld,nt start without the
    compressor we were working on. To this day the supervisor
    and the co-worker are deceased from cancer, and I have a
    strong feeling the reason is because of an over exposure to
    H2S & Benzene. What do you think i should do? I still can't
    afford to lose my job and feel if they got wind I consulted
    with a lawyer about this I'd be in the unemployement line.
