Employees of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Energes Services LLC, Unlimited Services LLC, Dominguez Welding LLC, and Complete Energy Services Inc were involved in the removal of the crude oil from the three crude oil tanks, the removal of production water from the production water tank, and the construction of new piping connecting the separator to crude oil tank #1 and the production water tank. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, as the chemical manufacturer, developed its own Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for crude oil and produced water. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation did not ensure that SDS's for each hazardous chemical produced by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation at the Sekich tank battery were readily accessible to the contractors performing work at the Sekich tank battery. This condition exposed employees of Energes Services LLC, Unlimited Services LLC, Dominguez Welding LLC, and Complete Energy Services Inc to a chemical hazard.
