Investigation Summary
EMPLOYEE #1 WAS UNLOADING ALTAMONT CRUDE OIL FROM A TANK TRUCK. HE WAS LOCATED INSIDE A REFINERY. IT WAS AT NIGHT. HE ATTEMPTED TO CHECK THE LEVEL OF CRUDE OIL LEFT IN THE TANKER COMPARTMENT BY INSERTING A DIPSTICK THROUGH THE OPEN TANKER DOME. HE WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A READING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OPERATIONAL LIGHT AT THE UNLOADING DOCK THAT NIGHT. WITHOUT THINKING, HE USED HIS BUTANE CIGARETTE LIGHTER TO LIGHT THE AREA NEAR THE DIPSTICK. THE CRUDE OIL VAPORS IGNITED, CAUSING AN EXPLOSION WHICH BURNED EMPLOYEE #1 AND BLEW HIM OFF THE TOP OF THE TANKER.
