26 Jun 2026 One Way Environmental Services LLC; Coastal Environmental Solutions Inc.; BWC Terminals LLCSulphuric acid spill in Channelview: USD 3.52m in OSHA penalties against three employers USAWorkplace safety and accidents €3.09m

After around one million gallons of sulphuric acid were released at the BWC Terminals site in Channelview (Texas) in December 2025, OSHA proposed penalties totalling 3,520,703 USD against three employers. Staffing contractor One Way Environmental Services accounts for 3,045,452 USD for 18 violations classed as wilful and egregious and five as serious, because it sent workers to the clean-up without adequate training, respirator fit tests and safety measures; the hazardous waste contractor Coastal Environmental Solutions faces 392,501 USD and BWC Terminals, which had mixed fresh and spent acid despite warnings, 82,750 USD. The authority allegedly made the findings set out here; this account is not based on a final judgment. The decision is not final.

What organisations can take from it

Companies that outsource clean-up after a chemical incident must check their contractors' training, respiratory protection and emergency planning.
