The Grangemouth refinery + plastics + gas plants are pretty dangerous places. The few explosions make the headlines BUT in the last 65 years that I know off there were very few fatal accidents due to BIG Bangs.
More people have died from disease brought on by exposure to chemicals, gases & asbestos.
My BiL died aged 48, 32 years ago - BP employee aged 24 to 47 years. BP said "Not our fault he contracted mesothelioma" we are super careful on Health & Safety matters.
Just after his death a fellow employee died of asbestosis aged around 45 - he had worked there from age of 15! BP had nobody else to blame.
