Investigation Summary
At 11:00 a.m. on April 10, 2017, Employee #1 was fueling a forklift cylinder with propane. The nozzle valve was bumped open when the nozzle reel retracted the fuel hose. When the employee noticed that the valve was open, he went to shut it off. The employee was wearing personal protective equipment, but had removed it when the fueling was complete. The gas cloud ignited upon touch, and Employee #1 sustained second degree burns to his arms, neck and face. Employee #1 was hospitalized for treatment.
