At approximately 2:30 p.m. on December 30, 2013, an employee was working as a welder. He was welding a steel plate onto a steel beam. The employee was doing long welding passes to heat up the metal, when he felt a hot sensation. He took off his welding helmet to find his shirt below his chest on fire. His abdomen to his waist was unprotected, because he was not wearing a leather bib. He sustained burns on his torso.
