Employee sustains burns during liquid vapor ignition

At 11:00 a.m. on March 22, 2019, an employee was using a MIG welder to tack weld a bracket onto a truck axle housing. The employee had cleaned the axle housing using a brake cleaner/degreaser and a bucket to catch the residue as well as any excess brake cleaning fluid. The employee struck an arc with the welder and the bucket of brake cleaner ignited. The employee kicked the bucket away and the fluid splashed and the vapor in the air flashed, melting the employee's polyester uniform to his body. The employee was hospitalized.
