Investigation Summary
On June 12, 1992, Employee #1, of Fabri-Matic, Inc., was attempting to use a torch to cut out the bottom of an empty 55 gallon drum. The drum had held a flammable paint thinner. Apparently, the torch ignited the residue and vapors still in the drum, which engulfed the employee in flames when the barrel erupted. Employee #1 died of his burns. Two serious citations were issued.
