Narratives of Fatal Incidents for Company Operations API has published information provided by companies on fatal accidents in the petroleum industry since 1933. Companies are asked to describe each incident that occurred within company operations. In 2005, nine companies reported experiencing forty-one fatalities. Two of those companies submitted detailed information about the circumstances surrounding three of these fatalities. This brief narrative is intended to provide information that could be used to avoid the occurrence of similar accidents in the future. U.S. OPERATIONS: CONTRACT WORKERS Refining June 22, 2005 ⎯ A contract crew was working on a tank farm cleaning a large crude tank. A contractor was found unconscious in the contractor’s trailer. ER was unsuccessful in reviving the individual. No toxic gas was detected in or around the crude tank. Investigation later determined there was a problem with the internal wiring of the trailer. The contractor’s work clothes were wet and combined with the improper electrical wiring of the trailer, the individual was electrocuted. Corrective action includes review of procedures for spotting trailers and testing electrical wiring following installation.
NON-U.S. OPERATIONS: COMPANY EMPLOYEES Offshore Exploration & Production and Drilling May 18, 2005 ⎯Operator was sent to a normally unmanned wellhead platform to restart wells following a process upset. A 16 inch condensate export riser parted below the cellar deck resulting in a release, explosion and fire. NON-U.S. OPERATIONS: CONTRACT WORKERS Onshore Exploration & Production and Drilling January 31, 2005 ⎯Contractor was driving on a road when he failed to negotiate a gentle curve and ran into a security fence. Prior to incident, deceased had consumed a large meal and according to a witness had fallen asleep in his vehicle at the previous stop. The cause of the accident was driver fatigue.
