My career was in the chemical industry. I can assure you that most of these events are not “gross acts of negligence “. Rest assured that there will be an investigation by multiple agencies.Liberty wrote: ↑Thu Nov 28, 2019 7:20 amAfter an automobile accident, the first thing most of us do is exchange insurance papers. Is this any different?
Typically these things aren't just accidents, but gross acts of negligence. Blowing out people's windows and doors, exposure to chemicals and being forced to evacuate on Thanksgiving, would leave me POed, angry and out for blood.
I was the assistant plant manager during such an event in 1996 in Northern California. Both internal and agency investigations determined the root cause. My employer made those affected whole. Federal agencies cited findings but no gross negligence.
One should refrain from making statements that grossly mischaracterize such events especially when one has zero facts to support such statements.
