    Worker Burned by Sulfuric Acid at Motiva Refinery Files Suit, Alleges Company Values Profits Over Safety U.S. Newswire
    According to the complaint, Slingwine was told by company officials that the pipe was clear and, therefore, he could perform the maintenance without wearing a hazardous material suit, which provides head-to-toe protection. Not only was he saturated with acid, but the company's emergency response systems, including showers and alarms, failed to operate properly, according to the complaint that has been filed in Delaware's Superior Court.
