 or the second time in the past few days, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has launched an investigation into a chemical plant explosion in Louisiana. On Thursday, a plant in Geismar, La., exploded, killing one person and injuring 73. On Friday, a blast in Donaldsonville, La., killed one person and injured seven. The plant that exploded on Thursday hadn't been inspected by OSHA in 20 years. It is not yet known when the last inspection was done at the Donaldsonville plant.

OSHA officials were expected to visit the plant, owned by CF Industries, as soon as the state's hazardous materials unit could guarantee that the location was safe to visit. Police identified Ronald “Rocky” Morris Jr., 55, of Belle Rose, La., a 34-year employee at the plant, as the victim.
