Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:05 a.m. on March 13, 2021, Employee #1 was operating a mini 9 deburring machine with a wet dust collector attached to deburr steel parts being fabricated. Earlier, aluminum had been processed through both machines, causing a buildup in the dust collector. While deburring the steel, sparks were generated, leading to a flash fire. The employee sustained third-degree burns to the back of his head, neck, back, and right arm. The employee was hospitalized for treatment.
