工会声明和记者报道将工人对事故的担忧与美国石化工厂越来越多地使用分包商联系起来。在路易斯安那州一家化学工厂的工人的案例研究中，我们探讨了谁感知和担心工作场所的化学品暴露和爆炸，以及为什么。工会成员、合同工和工作控制力低的人对化学品接触的感知最高，而那些报告匆忙或过度劳累的人对爆炸的感知最高。合同工似乎比直接雇用的员工更担心该行业的危险。
Union statements and journalist accounts have tied workers' fears of accidents to the increasing use of subcontractors at U.S. petrochemical plants. Tn this case study of workers at a chemical facility in Louisiana, we explore who perceives and worries about chemical exposures and explosions in the work place and why. Perceptions of chemical exposures were highest among union members, contract workers, and those with low job control, whereas perception of explosions was highest among those reporting being rushed or overworked. Contract workers appear to be more worried about hazards in the industry than direct-hire employees.
