HOUSTON -- Counselors were at a Houston refinery Monday as crews returned to their jobs after a crane collapse left four contract workers dead.

Safety meetings are also scheduled.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused the accident at a Lyondell Basell refinery on Friday July 18, 2008. The 30-story-tall crane is owned by Deep South Crane & Rigging.

The four men who died worked for the Louisiana company.

Seven other workers were injured.
