Murphy Oil Corporation Accidents

Unfortunately, Murphy Oil Corp has been the site of multiple preventable accidents. Since 2000, Murphy has incurred $154,462,818 in fines due to environmental, workplace safety, offshore drilling and railroad safety violations. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. Injuries and fatalities from incidents at refineries are preventable if companies take corrective action to ensure a safe work environment.

Murphy Safety & Health Violations (2009)

In 2009, Murphy Oil was cited for serious health and safety issues at their Baton Rouge facility. OSHA’s investigation revealed 18 serious violations in the Murphy refinery. Murphy failed to provide an adequate relief system designed to prevent fires and explosions for the Hydro Cracker unit. Murphy also failed to ensure that equipment in the refining process was being used with good engineering practices and to conduct regularly scheduled piping inspections. OSHA considered these serious because they could result in injuries or death.

Common Injuries Caused by Rig Accidents

It is the employer’s duty to ensure that work environments are safe and workers have the proper equipment to protect themselves. Unfortunately, employers cut corners on safety to save costs or improve ‘efficiency’—putting employees’ lives in danger.

Rig and refinery accidents often cause life-changing, catastrophic injuries:
