Potential Causes of
Oil and Gas Explosions
There are numerous causes of gas pipeline and oil refinery explosions. These contributing factors could arise at any of California's 15 fuel refineries and four non-fuel refineries.
Workplace Safety Violations
Poor safety precautions and violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards increase the risks of oil and gas explosions at refineries and other industrial workplaces.
Improper Maintenance
Failure to properly maintain or inspect pipelines, tubing, and equipment at a refinery or industrial site can increase the risk of propane and other gas leak hazards while on the job.
Poor Chemical Storage
Many oil and gas refineries store propane, butane, and other combustible chemical materials. Improperly stored combustible materials could become volatile hazards increasing explosion risks.
