Safety experts have sealed off smoke-blackened sections of the Chevron refinery at Pembroke Dock, south-west Wales, where four workers have died in a huge explosion.
Three male painting contractors and a female fire-watch officer are believed to have died when a large storage tank blew up, rocking local houses and sending a plume of black smoke into the sky on Thursday evening. A fifth worker was seriously injured.
The Health and Safety Executive has taken charge of the section of the large complex, which has a good safety record but is at constant risk of serious accidents. Dyfed Powys police are also investigating as well as informing relatives of the victims.
