The United Steel Workers union is urging the oil industry to monitor safety conditions at refinery construction sites in the wake of another death in the industry this week. A contractor was killed in a crane accident while working on the Motiva Enterprises expansion project in Port Arthur, Texas.
OSHA is investigating the cause. The USW expressed condolences to the family of the victim. The union says there had been several minor crane accidents at the site before the fatal one.
