Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 14310510

Event: 07/20/1993

Employees burned by unexpected release of steam

Employees #1 and #2 were repairing a main steam stop gate valve on a boiler that had been shut down. The boiler was one of five boilers manifolded into a main steam header. The employees removed the bolts that attached the bonnet of the valve to the body of the valve. The bonnet blew out and pressurized steam severely burnt the employees. The employer had no lockout program and did not ensure that the main steam header had been completely de-pressurized.
