"Safety Flaws Led To Deadly Dupont Leak"

"HOUSTON -- It was DuPont's third deadly U.S. accident in five years and the deadliest of them all. On November 15th, a chemical leak in LaPorte took the lives of four workers, including two brothers.

They were inside a building that manufactured insecticides.

Federal investigators have now claimed there were problems both with the building and with how things were done there.

'What we are seeing here in this incident in LaPorte is definitely a problem of safety culture in the corporation of DuPont,' said Rafael Moure-Eraso, Chairman of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board."

Andrew Horansky reports for KHOU 11 News February 5, 2015.
