      Three injured in El Palito accident, no force majeure – VenezuelaPublished: Monday, January 8, 2007 13:19 (GMT -0400)An accident at the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit at Venezuelan state oil firm El Palito refinery has left three contract workers injured, the company and local media reported.   
      “      The company has not declared force majeure as El Palito mostly makes fuel for the domestic market and only sporadically sends shipments to clients abroad,” a PDVSA spokesperson told BNamericas Monday. El Palito is in Carabobo state in central Venezuela. One of the injured suffered burns to 70% of his body, radio network Unión Radio reported. The second suffered first-degree burns and the third was treated and released from the hospital. Eight workers died in 2005-06 as a result of on-the-job accidents at different PDVSA installations.

      Accident at PDVSA El Palito Refinery Cat Cracker injures 3 contract workers, but no Force Majure on fuel shipments.
      The article mentions the 8 workers killed at PDVSA refineries in 2005 & 2006 – PDVSA was once known for its strong safety record before losing most of its experienced workers due to differences with government.
