Investigation Summary
A crimped oxygen and propane hose was left in a cofferdam during lunch. The gases were not shut off at the manifold. Employee #1, an arc welder, returned to the area after lunch to arc weld a bleed-off plug into place. When he started welding, the accumulated fuel gas and oxygen flashed and burned him. He died. No tests for flammable vapors and oxygen were performed and no ventilation was provided.
