Cover-up:The Chevron Richmond Refinery Explosion-Fire, Health And Safety And Cal-Osha

Dr. Larry Rose, the former medical director of Cal-Osha Medical Unit gave a presentation on 11/10/12 on the causes of the explosion and fire at the Chevron refinery and the failure of Ca-Osha to properly supervise the dangerous oil refinery and also the failure to properly investigate the causes of the environmental disaster. Cal-Osha according to Dr. Rose knew the pipes were bad because USW Cheveron refinery workers had reported this to Cal-Osha but no action was taken. He reports that Chevron was criminally negligent but that Ca-Osha also refused to enforce the laws against Chevron's Richmond's refinery to protect the workers and the community. Dr. Rose pointed out that it was fortunate that no workerswere killed at the refinery but there are no reports about what happened to these workers and the protection of their health and safety. He also reports that serious contamination of the workers and community took place and continues because of the failure of these agencies to properly enforce the law and regulations.This presentation was made in Richmond, California at a forum of United Public Workers For more video go to:    • Demands That Cal-Osha Criminally Prosecute...      • CA State Industrial Hygienist Charles Rach...      • "Chevron Rage" Richmond, CA Community Dema...   For more information go to http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Ch...
