Investigation Summary
An employee was connecting a water line to a meter at a construction site. He was sweating the pipe when his welding torch contacted and melted through a plastic pipe carrying natural gas. The escaping gas ignited and exploded. On the plans, the plastic pipe was not identified, and the location of the gas line had been misrepresented by approximately 6 feet. The employee suffered first- and second-degree burns to his arms, shoulders, and face. He was hospitalized for his injuries.
