Investigation Summary
TWO CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES WERE DOING SEPARATE JOBS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY (50 FEET) OF EACH OTHER. ONE INVOLVED "HOT WORK" AND THE OTHER "COLD WORK" IN A CHEMICAL PLANT. A DRAIN VALVE LINE CAME OFF AN OFF-GAS SCRUBBER RELEASING A STREAM OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID AND GAS TO THE "HOT WORK" AREA. THIS CAUSED A FLASH FIRE AND EXPLOSION. THE DRAIN VALVE AND LINE WERE NOT LOCKED OR TAGGED AND IT WAS NOT KNOWN HOW THE LINE CAME OFF.
