GRETNA – A Jefferson Parish man who claims he was exposed to radioactive materials as part of his employment as a pipe cleaner is suing his former employer as well as several international oil corporations.
Michael Wilson Sr. filed suit against Exxon Mobil Corporation, Exxon Mobil Oil Corporation, Chevron USA Inc., BP Corporation North America Inc., Devon Energy Production Company LP, Conocophillips Company, Shell Oil Company, Shell Offshore Inc., SWEPI, Marathon Oil Company and Intracoastal Tubular Services in the 24th Judicial District Court on April 10.
Wilson claims he was employed by pipe cleaning companies Intracoastal Tubular Services from 1974-75, Oilfield Services in 1992-93 and Bredero Price in 1998. The plaintiff alleges that as part of his job he used pipe cleaning processes that created hazardous radioactive dust in the air that he breathed in. Wilson asserts that due to the nature of the work he was exposed to oilfield generated radioactivity (OGR), which is caused by drilling activities, as part of his employment and that he now has a higher risk of contracting cancer.
