Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:50 a.m. on October 25, 2002, Employees #1 and #2, of Esparza Enterprises Inc., were working for a secondary employer, GMC Roofing & Building Paper Products Inc. The two employees were cleaning the saturating machine which coats felt paper with petroleum tar. The doors of the machine, approximately 4 ft by 8 ft in size, were open at the saturating tank.

The employees were transported by ambulance to Kern Medical Center and then to Grossman Burn Center, Sherman Oaks, where they were hospitalized and treated for serious burns.
