Abstract: Employees #1 through #4 arrived for work, turned on the lights, and suffered injuries when natural gas that had leaked into the facility ignited and caused the facility to explode. The gas leak appears to have been the result of additional pressure being placed on a plastic underground gas line by the Southwest Gas Company. There is no indication that the employer influenced the event in any way.
