Investigation Summary

Employee #2 was welding the skids and Employee #1 was holding the brackets in place. The tank had not been used recently, and although Employee #2 had made an effort to clean the tank, he did not steam clean it. The tank exploded and both ends of the tank blew open. Employee #1 was killed; Employee #2 sustained serious burns.
