Petroleum refineries and petrochemical facilities produce a variety of benzene containing products, including gasoline, kerosene, distillate fuel oils, residual fuel oils, and lubricants. Benzene is a component of crude oil and is created through a number of processes, among them fractionation, straight distillation, and cracking. Benzene and related products are transported from the refinery via rail cars, trucks, barges and/or tankers.
A variety of trades in the petroleum refining industry may face exposure to benzene on the job. Maintenance workers, unit operators, pipefitters, welders, electricians, and laborers are examples of trades that could be exposed to benzene. These trades and others who work around the pipes and holding locations during plant “shutdowns” and “turnarounds” risk exposure. Tanker drivers and others involved in the transport of benzene from refineries also risk exposure.
