Sunoco: Oil
built 653 days ago
The initial review of Sunoco’s lubrication program revealed some disturbing facts about current practices. Oil was stored at a variety of locations throughout the plant. In fact, some of the oil was stored in areas containing large amounts of dust and debris. Other oil was stored in buildings with leaky roofs permitting rainwater to cover the tops of the oil drums every time it rained. Some oil containers were stored in an area where metal grinding, machining and welding were performed. In all instances, the new lubricant was contaminated before it left the shop.
