Arkansas: Burn Injury Causes
Workers in some occupations face the threat of burn injuries each day on the job. Industrial, refinery, and manufacturing plant employees and workers are seriously injured or killed every year due to refinery and plant explosions. Because of the hazardous materials used in manufacturing plants, chemical plants, and oil refineries, workers in these industries constantly face the threat of burn injuries due to explosions, chemical spills, and other types of accidents. In the most severe cases, oil refinery and petrochemical plant accidents can be fatal due to chemical burns and fire-related deaths. Some of the common causes of workplace burn injuries in Arkansas include:
- Defective machinery
- Pipeline explosions
- Oil field and refinery fires
- Improper labeling and safety instructions for propane and gas storage
- Toxic chemical exposures
Despite safety regulations and laws, workplace burn injuries occur far too often and may cause severe, permanent disabilities. The legal issues involved in a workplace burn accident case can be complicated and require an Arkansas burn injury attorney who is experienced in this area.
