Investigation Summary
At 11:15 p.m. on May 6, 2018, Employee #1 was using a powered industrial truck to pull a crucible of molten silicon to a cooling/treating area. When the trailer hit rough ground, the molten silicon spilled overtop of the crucible, causing it to slosh forward and spill onto the ground. As the molten silicon came in contact with water on the ground, an explosion occurred. Employee #1 suffered burns to his hand, face, neck and legs, and was killed.
