Investigation Summary
At 7:00 a.m. on October 6, 2019, an employee was clearing a vacuum roll wrap from a vacuum dryer by manually pulling solvent-soaked film from the dryer and placing it in a pile. While clearing the vacuum wrap, the pile of film ignited, causing a flash fire which travelled to the employee. The employee was wearing Nomex coveralls, safety glasses, static-dissipating safety boots, and Kevlar cut-resistant gloves. All equipment and machinery was bonded and grounded. The employee was hospitalized to treat third degree burns to both wrists, the right side of their face, and right ear.
