Investigation Summary
Employees #1 and #2 were approximately 10 feet high on a scissor lift doing pipe fitting work on existing piping. Employee #2 had sawed off an existing pipe at the ceiling approximately 15 feet high. The pipe was drained of combustible liquid. Employee #1, a welder, put a short pipe nipple over the open end of the existing pipe and welded a first pass completely around the pipe with no problems. Employee #1 changed the welding rod, adjusted the welding machine, and began to weld the final pass. A small amount of combustible liquid in the pipe ignited and burned Employee #2. Both employees jumped to the floor. Employee #1 broke his heel.
