Investigation Summary
On September 22, 1993, Employee #1 and a coworker attempted three times to light the pilot in a Bryan copper tube boiler, model #518-W, serial #9072. On the 3rd attempt, an overabundance of gas in the chamber ignited and flared back. Employee #1 sustained 1st- and 2nd-degree burns on his face and right arm. He was hospitalized for 3 days. There were several deficiencies with the boiler's electrical control system. Neither employee had received any specific instruction on how to light the pilot.
