A worker has been injured following a light hydrocarbon release at oil major Shell’s refinery in Ontario, Canada.
According to reports, the worker sustained burns and was in a stable condition.
The incident comes after the family of a worker killed in an explosion were given an estimated $5million as part of a settlement deal.
Ian McKee died aged 27-years-old when he had gone to investigate the hissing sound of gas which was escaping under high pressure at the Chevron Lanco 7H well in Greene County, Pennslyvania.
The escaping gas exploded, killing the worker and creating a fire which was eventually put out after four days.
The amount paid to settle the lawsuit was not disclosed but according to media reports in the region, it was an estimated $5million.
