    Walnut Creek Explosion: Cal/OSHA Issues Multi-Employer Citation Business Wire
    'After a six month thorough investigation, Cal/OSHA has determined that the explosion which occurred Nov. 9, 2004 leaving five employees dead and four seriously injured, was completely preventable,' said Cal/OSHA Acting Chief Len Welsh. 'The primary cause of the incident was that the location of the petroleum line was not known by the employees working in the area. Several employers failed to take required action and committed errors that contributed to the failure to determine and mark the location of the utility line.'
