The same official who led the inquiry into the 2005 explosion at a BP plant that led to an admission of federal environmental standards will be investigating a recent death at the company’s Texas City refinery. The US Chemical Safety Board team will investigate the on-the-job death of a veteran operations supervisor who suffered fatal head injuries while the team he supervised was installing a water filtration vessel. The company has reported that a chemical explosion may have been involved, while earlier reports suggested only that the death was the result of high water pressure and did not mention the presence of burns or scorching on the body or at the scene. However, lawyers for the family suggest that the worker’s body was badly burned.
