Abstract: On December 17, 1998, Employee #1 received burns to his hands, face, arms, chest, and left leg while working with a flammable adhesive. The employee was applying a flammable adhesive to glue insulation to ductwork. Directly across from the employee, a welder was welding a pin into galvanized metal. A spark from the welding operation reacted with the can of adhesive and caught fire. Employee #1 attempted to dispose of the ignited can outside when the adhesive splashed on him, igniting his clothing and causing multiple burns to his body. The employee was transported to St. John's Hospital and was hospitalized for at least three weeks.
