Investigation Summary
At 4:45 p.m. on November 4, 2019, two employees were troubleshooting the failure to idle of a forklift. An employee secured an LP propane bottle to commence troubleshooting of the fuel system. A filter clog created a back pressure that blew a line and gas collected in the hood area. The mechanic started the forklift, and the distributor ignited the propane, causing a flash fire. The two employees were hospitalized to treat second degree burns.
