Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 170074512
Event: 07/15/1996
Three employees injured when gas ignites underground

Employees #1 through #3 were helping to insert a section of plastic pipe into a segment of underground gas pipe. The static electricity generated by the plastic valve ignited the ambient gas. Employees #1 through #3 were injured. The primary cause of this accident was the failure to follow the San Juan Gas Company's operations and maintenance procedures, which require isolation of the segment of gas line prior to insertion of a plastic pipe section.
