The Phillips 66 Explosion in Pasadena Texas - 30 years later

October 23, 2019 marked the 30th anniversary of a devastating fire and explosion that killed 23 workers, and injured over 300 more, at a major chemical plant in Pasadena, TX. The explosion, which occurred at the Phillips 66 Houston Chemical Complex (HCC) on the Houston Ship Channel, helped modernize process safety management (PSM) programs in the United States. This significant incident removed any doubt that a catastrophic industrial process release could produce severe consequences in a geographic region with a mature regulatory framework. At this meeting, attendees will review what happened, why it happened, and what were the lessons learned.

Attendees will earn 1 PDH of continuing education.
