HOUSTON (Reuters) -A scaffolding collapse on Wednesday at Chevron's Pasadena, Texas, refinery injured three workers, a Chevron spokesperson said in a statement.

One of the three contract workers was flown by helicopter to a Houston-area hospital due to the severity of injuries received, according to the company.

The other two workers were taken to a hospital by ambulance, Chevron's spokesperson said.

The three were demolishing the scaffolding when it collapsed, the company said.

Refineries erect scaffolding around production units that are undergoing planned overhauls or unplanned repairs.
