Investigation Summary
At 3:15 p.m. on May 25, 2017, two employees were preparing hot plates to use during fusion of plastic piping. Other workers at the site were backfilling a trench. Other workers at the site were welding and using oxyacetylene torches to connect steel piping in a trench. The piping was connected to a crude oil tank that had been partially emptied, but not washed out or vented. Flammable vapors ignited and three crude oil tanks exploded. Flash fire spread to area of trench, resulting in 4th degree burns and killing one worker. Three workers sustained third degree burns and were hospitalized. Two workers sustained first and second degree burns, and were treated and released.
