Chevron Surveillance Video

[@Bob-yw7pc]

It is amazing how negligent these companies are. They make billions off oil, yet are too cheap to replace a critical pipe. from 1974. That they were flat out told was going to fail. If the justice system worked, companies like this would be sued out of existence. That one in Texas that killed a whole trailer of workers was horrid. And it was caused by systematic cost cutting, and tech that hadn't been updated since the 1950s.. I sure love gas cars, but I will be glad when the world goes electric. It would take 1 years worth of money the US sends out of the country to buy oil, to switch the entire US to renewable energy, but too many politicians are in the pocket of big oil...

[@nileynet]

Management are clearly to blame, you can hear them in the background discussing how to cut costs without any regard to maintenance, safety, or training.

[@SAVikingSA]

Even when it's the employee's fault, it's still ultimately management's fault.

[@rocketraccoon1976]

They should force management to put their offices right next to these areas. Bet they'd start treating safety more seriously.

[@docdaneeka3424]

@@SAVikingSA yes it is, almost automatically by definition: the *job* of managment is to make sure the employees do their job properly. If there is a failure, it is ultimately the responsibility of management, always.

[@Dead25m]

@@docdaneeka3424 Not always.. What if an employee suddenly does something absolutely crazy for no reason? That's not really on the management, they can't lock down every possible event ever. Say, if in a kitchen, a chef stabs a coworker, how was management supposed to do anything about that?

@@MrGrace yes! much better, it was just a period I guess, I still find videos of industrial disasters relaxing, I work in the industry, so perhaps it relaxes me to see it as "training" ? and there is also the technical learning side to watching these videos, which obviously I enjoy .

Wow, 7 years ago and Contra Costa County still has problems with the reverse 911 system. I remember getting a notification, but those in Point Richmond did not. I do not live near the refinery.

[@rippspeck]

What's a reverse 911 system? Do you get called if there's a major accident in a plant near you? I've never heard of this in my country. The cops would just drive around town blasting warnings from their speakers, most likely.

[@plushifoxed]

@@rippspeck Considering they mentioned receiving a notification, I assume they're referring to the Wireless Emergency Alert protocol that exists here in the US.

[@CannabisTechLife]

You're talking about the very people that wanted to keep the refinery running while they repaired a leaking pipe because of cost savings. OFC their cameras are bad that's more money they would have to spend!

[@gantmj]

It's actually pretty good compared to the average surveillance camera of the time. It can even zoom pretty far and maintain quality.

_"Only a crybaby liberal would drag politics into a video that has absolutely nothing to do with politics."_ Dunno where the hell you got that from, you're the only one who brought politics into this in the first place. P.S. Before you pull the "hahah snowflake/liberal" card on me: I'm a conservative liberal - similar to a Libertarian. Or perhaps if you want to say, a "classical liberal" since my views do not align with the modern liberals. (Many of whom call themselves liberal but really edge towards communism and marxism instead.)

[@crissd8283]

The only reason places like this exist is because people want them. People want energy, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, roads, plastics, etc. If people suddenly didn't drive cars and didn't fly or demand products shipped these places would shut down in a week. These placed didn't come about because some people decided they wanted to intentionally damage the environment.

[@davegrenier1160]

There is so little poverty in the world (compared to most of the rest of history) because of cheap, abundant fossil fuels. Is it dangerous? Possibly? Are there benefits? Undoubtedly. Massive benefits, even to the poorest people on earth. Do a little cost/benefit analysis before you spout off again.
