Refinery Accident

A refinery accident occurs when there is a sudden failure or mishap in a facility that processes raw materials like crude oil into usable products such as gasoline or diesel. These accidents can involve explosions, fires, toxic releases, or equipment failures, often due to mechanical issues, human error, or safety lapses. They pose serious risks to workers, the environment, and nearby communities, and usually require emergency response, investigation, and safety improvements afterward. Effective safety protocols and maintenance are crucial to prevent such incidents and minimize their impact.
