Two employees burned in explosion of lead melting furnace

The company was remelting lead recovered from indoor shooting ranges. At approximately 9:00 a.m. on August 5, 1993, Employee #2 filled the remelting furnace and walked away. Employee #1, who also was in the area, lifted the remelter lid and added more lead. As Employee #1 walked away, an explosion occurred, engulfing the building in flames.
