Employee killed when burned by flash fire

Two employees were using lacquer thinner to wash stains off a bar. After the stain was removed, the employees went upstairs for a breath of fresh air. Employee #1 returned to the bar area to pick up. The workers upstairs heard a pop, then felt and heard the ignition of a flash fire. Employee #1 died from the burns he sustained. Investigating officials concluded that the furnace was the ignition source. The furnace was a pulse-type with an electronic air cleaning system.
