Investigation Summary
At about 12:30 p.m. on November 26, 2001, Employee #1 was assisting with relighting a gas-fired boiler. Gas apparently collected inside of the boiler after several unsuccessful lighting attempts, fueling an explosion which blew off the boiler's end cover, striking Employee #1 in the head. He was hospitalized with a concussion. The ignition source could not be determined.
