Abstract: At approximately 11:30 a.m. on February 11, 2004, Employee #1 was using a torch to cut pre-welded Ts from an approximately 7.5-ft long by 2-in. diameter steel pipe. While cutting, a piece of slag fell on his back. The employee smelled some burning cloth, looked around, but did not notice anything burning. Employee #1 continued cutting the pipe and suddenly felt that his shirt was on fire. He doffed his welding gloves and removed his burning shirt. Employee #1 was admitted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Colton, CA for treatment of third-degree burns to his back.
