According to Delek’s website, “Safety is one of our core values…” The company’s safety record says otherwise. Since 2000, the company has paid nearly $34 billion in penalties. Of the 197 recorded violations, 39 were safety-related, 152 were environment-related, and 6 were employment-related offenses. Delek paid approximately $950,000 in penalties for safety-related offenses since 2000. In 2009, OSHA cited Delek’s Tyler, TX refinery for 30 safety violations after a fire and explosion claimed 2 workers' lives and injured 3 others. The alleged violations included 1 willful violation and 29 serious violations, specifically related to the company’s failure to “adequately maintain and repair processing equipment” and its violation of safety standards involving asbestos, fire extinguishers, benzene, and electricity.
