DOW coming to a location near you and it will mean jobs. I did not see a lot of publicity about this.

quote:

The Dow Chemical Company (DOW) announced that it plans to build a number of specialty material production plants on the U.S. Gulf coast to leverage feedstock advantage available from increasing supplies of shale gas in North America. Dow expects to ramp up the Performance Plastics capacity along the U.S. Gulf coast and plans to construct new facilities along the Gulf Coast. The facilities are currently in the front end engineering and design (FEED) phase and are expected to be completed in 2014.

I'm in oilfield sales and thinking about getting a job in the plants. How good are the operator jobs? From what I can gather they are pretty good jobs.

Jindal is making an announcement today at 2:00 for a plant in Geismar, LA. Not a DOW company...

Just a curious question, are jobs at facilities like these dangerous? I've seen a lot of headlines about accidents at refineries and plastics manufacturing facilities in Texas over the last 10 or so years. I remember a couple at Conoco Phillips' Texas City plastic operations.

Do the workers at these facilities get hazard pay or is there no real danger involved?
