“Without basic safety and security,
everything else we care
about is
at risk.” - Senator Jon Corzine
during his campaign
for Governor
|
An accident or a terrorist attack on a chemical plant or railcar
could endanger thousands of lives. Corporate executives and
their lobbyists must not be allowed to put even higher profits
ahead of worker and public safety and security. New Jersey must
require chemical plants and other industries that use hazardous
chemicals to operate safely and securely.
