The Hazards of 'Routine Maintenance'

Acknowledgement to Chartis Insurance
A contractor was retained to perform routine maintenance at a refinery. While replacing a steam supply valve in a critical pipe, a back draft of hydrogen sulfide gas was released and asphyxiated the employee of the third-party contractor, instantly killing him. His wife initiated a wrongful death lawsuit against the refinery seeking damages associated with her husband’s death.
