£1.2m fine for oil company after workers suffer multiple burns
Oil refinery company, Phillips 66 Ltd was sentenced for safety breaches after two workers in North Lincolnshire suffered life-changing injuries from an uncontrolled release of high pressure and high temperature steam.
Grimsby Crown Court heard that on 30 October 2013, the two workers – one an employee of Phillips 66 Limited, the other an apprentice were re-assembling high pressure steam pipework following maintenance of a steam turbine driven pump.
During the process, they were exposed to an uncontrolled release of high pressure, high temperature steam of around 250c
The uncontrolled release resulted in the 53-year-old employee receiving burns to his lower back and legs, and the 20-year-old apprentice receiving extremely serious burns to his torso, chest, arms and legs. At the time of the incident, these injures were life threatening.
