Tesoro blocks feds from investigating refinery accident
Two workers severely burned in chemical spill
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) is demanding access to the Tesoro refinery in Martinez, California, in order to investigate a Feb. 12 chemical spill that resulted in first- and second-degree burns to two workers.
The CSB fired off an angry letter to Tesoro CEO Greg Goff over the company’s refusal to preserve the site, comply with document requests and allow interviews.
