Employee burned in heat tank explosion

Employee #1 was starting up a Hy-Way asphalt heat tank. The heat tank had mineral oil that ran through coils inside it, and a burner that heated the oil and thus kept the asphalt in liquid form. For some reason, the hot oil line ruptured, resulting in an explosion. Employee #1 was covered with flaming mineral oil and sustained second- and third-degree burns over 50 percent of his body.
