Abstract: On June 17, 2003, Employee #1, of National Construction Rentals, Inc., was using gasoline to clean parts of a pneumatic Kitty Hawk, a machine that is used to pound metal fence posts into the ground. Employee #1 decided the gasoline looked dirty and took the gasoline container to an area several feet away, and poured some of the gasoline onto the ground. As Employee #1 started pouring the gasoline, it ignited burning his left arm and chest. Another employee transported the Employee #1 to a local medical clinic. From there, Employee #1 was transferred and admitted to the University of California Davis Medical Center burn unit in Sacramento where he was treated for first- and second-degree burns.
