Warren, Markey Moulton Demand Answers Following Explosion at Newburyport Pharmaceutical Chemical Plant

Press Release

"This explosion is only the latest avoidable disaster at this facility, following years of serious safety violations, multiple fines, and other explosions. We write seeking the explanation as to why this latest incident occurred and how, after years of fines and regulatory enforcement actions, Seqens could have allowed unsafe conditions to persist.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Five workers were at the facility when the explosion happened, four of whom were injured and taken to the hospital. One worker remains missing. This is an unacceptable and tragic outcome--every worker is entitled to a safe workplace and the knowledge that they will return home unharmed after a shift at work. It is now painfully apparent that your company has failed to create any meaningful or effective safety culture."
