Abstract: At approximately 1:30 p.m. on December 2, 2008, Employee #1, an Equipment Operator, used gasoline in a coffee can to prime an old carburetor. The engine back fired and ignited the gasoline vapors which burned the Employee #1's left hand as he put the can down. Slapping the fire did not put it out, and a nearby hose was used to extinguish the fire. Employee #1 was taken to a hospital where he was treated and released that night and referred to a Burn Wound Clinic for follow-on care. On December 9, 2008, while recuperating, Employee #1 had difficulty with his dressing and was admitted to the Burn Unit for four days for pain management and wound treatment.
