Investigation Summary
On June 27, 2001, Employee #1 and two coworkers were removing, cleaning, preparing, and sealing with hot asphalt the skylights at a shopping center. Employee #1 was on the ground attending the recirculation valve on a kettle of hot asphalt and a 20 ft long pipe that was to deliver the hot asphalt to the roof. He was also assigned to keep pedestrians away from the setup. After the kettle was ignited and the thermostat set between 450 and 500 degrees F, a coworker on the roof pulled on a rope attached to the recirculation valve lever to start the hot asphalt pumping through the pipe. Employee #1 was standing approximately 24 in. to 36 in. from the kettle when the gasket failed on the recirculation valve and he was sprayed by hot asphalt. He sustained burns, for which he was hospitalized.
