A select few are arrogant and basically tell me mind my business. I’ve been kicked off a well and told to never come back once because company man was having a bad day once. He called the company I’m leased to and apologized for it, but I think it’s because he REALLY needed his load of barite and salt gel. Now he’s the coolest company man I know. Never wait for anything.

Every industry uses some chemicals. From heavy duty cleaning or even vehicles. At my work, they had to add 30" of concrete to the floor (in one spot) for a massive new machine. They had a backhoe running inside the building all day. So they set up a good ventilation system for the fumes. (Nearly froze my ass off, if I had known the day before I would have worn more layers)

This was Texas, where our state Attorney General spends billions of dollars fighting Federal regulations or even suggestions. Weather that cold is rare in the Houston area (I’ve lived here over 30 years), where the DuPont release was, whereas the Valero plant was in an area where cold winters are the norm (I lived in that part of Texas and Eastern New Mexico for close to 15 years). Even after the huge explosion in West, TX, companies don’t have to tell anyone how much of what chemicals are on a property.

I find it terrifying that the people designing these plants and operating them, have the same knowledge as USCSB has, and all the explanations the CSB makes are always logical, and immediately identified as 'why would you not do it the way CSB advises to, why did you do it THIS way?'. It's astounding that it takes accidents, reconstruction, and logically sound explanations to learn from this. The knowledge was there in the first place - it was just recklessly neglected.
@beeble2003 Жыл бұрын
In the real world, everything has a cost. You can't afford to fix everything. You can't afford to do everything perfectly. You have to use your judgement to dolve the important problems and leave the unimportant ones. And, often, things are overlooked. For example, consider the dead leg of piping mentioned in this video. Sure, if the only thing you're thinking about is that specific piece of piping, it's easy to see the problem. If you have hundreds of miles of pipe in your plant, things aren't so easy to spot.

@ReflectedMiles3 жыл бұрын
Per events in the winter of 2020-21 years after this video was made, what the CSB doesn't understand is that Texans don't believe in winter as being anything of consequence. And when Texans have a belief about something, that's all that matters, as the governor there regularly makes clear. Reality is irrelevant. If winter does billions in damage there one year, and even makes many homes unlivable, that may have a slight effect, but otherwise, the CSB can't expect facilities in Texas to respond any differently than they have in the past. Warnings about ill-preparedness have gone unheeded for decades.

Defunding The Chemical Safety Board Is A Bad Idea And Likely To Increase Chemical DisastersUnfortunately, the 2019 budget proposed by the Trump administration zeros out funding for the USCSB. Its requested fiscal-year funding, $12 million, is modest for a government agency. Likewise, the 2018 budget also proposed to defund the USCSB. This sustained effort reflects an ongoing de-emphasis on chemical safety - as a second example, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has indefinitely delayed bans on the use of three hazardous chemicals, shown to be toxic to human health. Chemical production is an essential component of modern society. This does not mean that there is not room to improve practices in manufacturing, storing, and shipping chemicals, and in ensuring the safety of those who work in or live near chemical plants. The vantage of an independent group is crucial for identifying those aspects that can and should be improved. Defunding the USCSB, which provides this indispensable independent perspective, is likely to hinder efforts to identify the causes of chemical accidents - especially in low-regulation locales. Moreover, it is also likely to worsen our ability to respond in previously unforeseen events, such as the heavy flooding of Harvey, that may be exacerbated by climate change. Finally, it is likely to cost lives in future incidents.
