Investigation Summary
Employee #1 attempted several times to light a gas water heater pilot light. The attempts heated the thermocouple/sensor that caused the controller to send gas into the firebox. Employee #1 was experienced and knew that he should have waited for the gas to dissipate, but he attempted to light the pilot light again and ignited the accumulated gas that caused a flareback/explosion that burned his arm and face. Employee #1 suffered first-degree and second-degree burns and was hospitalized for two days.
