Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was unloading a cargo of condensate that had been picked up at a newly completed well. When the employee opened the dome lid on the pup, the volatiles boiled out of the cargo, splashing into his face. The escaped volatiles were then sucked into the ignition system of his tractor, causing it to backfire, which, in turn, caused an explosion and fire. Employee #1 suffered first-degree burns. Employee #2 was injured in his attempt to help Employee #1.
