BP fined 92 thousand after 2005 Texas City blast monitoring
OSHA penalizes BP Products North America with one willful and four serious violations after post blast monitoring at the Texas City refinery. The agency cites failures in fractionator hazard analysis, piping diagrams, pressure relief valves, and intrinsically safe electrical equipment. Seven Baytown area workers died in the blast with 15 total fatalities. BP faces 15 days to respond, seeking informal conference or contesting the citations. The incident follows a 2005 $21.3 million fine and ongoing safeguards review.
