Investigation Summary
At about 9:45 a.m. on February 25, 1997, Employee #1 was flame-cutting a disused pressure vessel, when some molten slag fell on the torch's fuel gas hose. The slag apparently burned through the hose causing the gas to ignite. Employee #1 did not immediately notice the ignition. The employee's leg was burned from the gas flames. He was seriously injured and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
