Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 910497
Event: 08/01/1992
Employee's leg fractured in methanol explosion

Employee #1 was using a cutting torch to cut a 55 gallon drum of methanol, which was supposedly empty, to make a trash can. An explosion knocked the lid of the drum through the side of a trailer in the area, breaking two bones in one of Employee #1's legs. The drum had not been thoroughly cleaned prior to cutting. The hazard communication program did not include an MSDS for oxygen and acetylene, nor training on such.
