"Four people were killed yesterday evening when a 730 cubic metre storage tank exploded in what appears to have been a tragic industrial accident.This is the first serious accident at the plant. Previous incidents include a small fire caused by a hydrogen leak in 2001 and two fires in 2003 in which no one was seriously injured.John Davies, leader of Pembrokeshire Council, praised the refinery's safety record saying: “I have known it all my life and this is first time as far as I am aware that a life has been lost in similar circumstances. It has an exceptional (safety) record.”
The refinery is one of the largest in western Europe, employing 1,400 people".
