Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on April 18, 2017, an employee was cutting a steel plate with an oxy-acetylene torch on top of a metal gang box. After trimming 1 inch off the 5 inch wide leg of the right side of the 5 by 10 angle iron, the employee put the torch down on the gang box and moved to the other side preparing to cut the left end of the angle iron. As the employee resumed cutting the left end of the angle iron, an explosion forced the lid of the gang box up which broke the employee's right arm.
