“The 2014 citations are under appeal to the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals. State law requires employers to correct hazards even if the violations are under appeal, unless a “stay of abatement” is granted to allow a delay in making the corrections. The company’s stay of abatement request was denied by the board.”

So, Phillips 66 does not spend money to fix its 2014 violations to keep its refinery workers at less risk in case of a fire or explosion.
