Investigation Summary
An employee was working as warehouse worker and laborer at an aluminum recycling plant. His duties included cleaning ground aluminum particles from a drum, cleaning miscellaneous material from the grindings, and putting the aluminum into bags for transport. At the time of the accident, he was operating a forklift, transferring and screening material from a drum. He was working near a panelboard. The aluminum dust caused an electrical fault in the panelboard. The ensuing electric arc or the ignited aluminum dust caused a hydraulic line on the forklift to fail. The hydraulic oil leaking from the line then ignited. The employee sustained mild first- and second-degree burns to the left side of his face and his left arm and leg. The employee was hospitalized for 5 days for his injuries.
