Investigation Summary
At 10:00 a.m. on December 7, 2020, Employee #1 was servicing a boiler. After completing maintenance, the employee attempted to light the boiler, causing residual fumes and oil to ignite, resulting in a backfire. The employee suffered first and second-degree burns to the head, face, and hands due to the flames produced during the incident. The lack of flame-resistant (FR) clothing and other required personal protective equipment (PPE) contributed to the severity of the injuries. The employee was hospitalized.
