Employee burned when gas welding regulator ignites

At approximately 12:23 p.m. on July 30, 1986, Employee #1 was preparing to repair a metal rack with a gas welding torch. He sprayed WD-40 on the oxygen gas welding regulator inlet connection as a lubricant to help him attach the connection to an oxygen cylinder.

He was hospitalized.
