A society is gold if trees are planted by people they'll never see the shade of

All of this is so blatantly out in the open, in a society where we care for each other, that would never be accepted. See Norway's policies after their oil industry had an uptick in injuries and casualties. In the US...well, the price tag for a human life is all that matters. And let's dispute these miniscule fines, too.

It's apparent why most of the fortune 500 oil companies are headquartered in Texas. They are penalized for unsafe activities in Texas.

Oh I'm sure they will... I think they wait until the investigation is complete, so they can deliver 'lessons learnt' along with actionable improvement activities that the industry can undertake. I just love that a random govt department - dedicated to worker safety in some really niche industries - has managed to organically garner a big online following, purely based on the quality of their videos. Technical videos about industrial accidents & worker safety. Absolutely brilliant. 🤘😎

Imagine getting benefits of supposedly going green but you’re still majority an oil company Too big to regulate like big TOBACCO

Nobody blinks an eye when oil conpanies go bust.

Sounds like their consulting firm is McKinsey.

This isn’t limited to oil, cobalt and other metals mining used for renewables like solar panels and electric vehicles have some hellish conditions…. We don’t usually care bc they’re in third world countries, but the take home message should be to improve all industrial safety regardless of industry or location.

You need Gov. to oversee this issue otherwise profit will overrun safety every time!

The Goal is always profits first!

Great video, thanks!

That’s such BS. When you have down time you utilize that time for repairs and upgrades. Bad management decisions. 😖

But have you ever seen a green company using 1 billion dollars worth of heavy machinery ?

Texas company give employees safe training. Just make employees sign on the forms, but completely not following thru. Any safe happen employees get suffering. They just care of their money with out safe investment on employees.

People need to be able to sue much more easily and speedily. Clearly OSHA is ineffective. We also need stronger unions. Thanks for this excellent coverage.

We cant complain since we use stuff that's created by these companies on a daily. They making profits and we want stuff to yo use in our daily life cant blame one without the other. And neither side will stop what they are doing to make the world better are we?????? Right

No it's like a car engine you can go without maintenance for a whole it just mean certain parts may run less efficiently. You still get to keep driving driving the car you just letting the maintenance laps untill something happens and who knows how long that will take. Same with these oil refineries. Same basic concept. Unless it's something that's gonna cause problems right now we ain't fixing it till we got it

You mean profit

I had to stop watching this video when the first blatant lie made itself known. The presenter's historical price per barrel of oil had me stop in my tracks. The presenter gaslights you with a false history, without regard to reality. Apparently, it's a narrative rather than a news report. Here are some historical prices per barrel of oil: 2008 The price of oil reached an all-time high of $147.27 in July 2008. However, prices fell below $100 in late summer before rising again in September. 1980 The price of oil peaked at over $35 per barrel in 1980, which is equivalent to $129 per barrel in 2023 dollars when adjusted for inflation. 1986 In 1986, Saudi Arabia increased its oil production from 2 million barrels per day to 5 million barrels per day, which caused prices to drop to almost $10 per barrel.

Boring

This is what happens when you limit/regulate the fossil fuel profits. They are forced to cut corners to make ends meet.
