Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was responsible for measuring the storage tanks of asphalt and determining whether or not the tank trucks could unload. He would climb a ladder to the top of the tank, measure the level of the asphalt with a measuring stick, and then lower the stick into a cleaning tube located near the bottom of the tank. This cleaning tube was filled with diesel. Employee #1 was refilling the cleaning tube when the asphalt from the storage tank overflowed and struck him on the back of the neck and the back. He suffered burns.
