Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was standing next to Employee #2, a welder, who was lying down welding a 1 in. diameter drain collar onto a drip pan that was part of a small pump located atop a concrete wastewater barge. An explosion occurred, killing Employee #1 and injuring Employee #2.

The manhole cover(s) and general area atop the hydrocarbon tank had been checked with an explosimeter before the welding was begun.
