EMPLOYEE BURNED BY GASOLINE SPILL WHILE REFUELING

Employee #1 was refueling a portable steam cleaner with gasoline using an open 10 quart pail and a cut-out 1 gallon plastic milk jug as a funnel. The steam cleaner, Jenny Serial Number 72,275, consisted of a gas engine pump with a diesel-fired burner to heat water. The steam cleaner had been used prior to the refueling and was still hot. Employee #1 failed to allow the unit to cool down before fueling, and did not use a safety can which caused gasoline to spill and ignite. Employee #1 was hospitalized for burns and scalding.
