Abstract: At approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 31, 2013, Employee #1, a 49-year-old male with Mechanical Industries Inc. of Bakersfield, California, was standing on a scissor lift with his torch. The propane tank used to power the scissor lift (Genie number GY061164, GS-2668-RT) was struck by a falling metal angle, end section of a metal ledger that had been cut by Employee #1 with a torch. The escaped gas from the propane tank ignited and caught on fire and the fire billowed up towards the platform of the scissor lift. Employee #1 attempted to get down from the scissor lift. As the controls was affected by the fire, Employee #1 realized that he could not access anything to lower himself down, so he decided to jump to the ground. Employee #1 injured his legs when he landed on the ground and sustained a left leg fracture. Employee #1 also sustained multiple burns from the propane fire. Coworkers summoned Emergency Medical Services, and Employee #1 was transported by ambulance to a nearby area, where he was then airlifted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center. Employee #1 was hospitalized for a period of five days.
