Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14233191

Event: 08/21/1989

Employee killed when struck by pressure vessel door

Employee #1 was testing a pressure vessel with air pressure in direct violation of an oral company policy. Employee #1 filled a 5 ft by 36 in. diameter pressure vessel that had an 18 in. by 21 in. manway. The vessel was designed for 14.5 psi and, instead of testing hydrostatically as told by company officials, Employee #1 filled the vessel to approximately 99 psi. The manway door, which was only 14 gauge stainless, broke away and struck Employee #1 in the head, causing a concussion. He was killed.
