Investigation Summary
Employees #1 through #3 were making welding repairs on a crude oil storage tank in which approximately 90 gallons of crude oil had been placed the previous day. A welding arc was struck on the tank to place a metal patch when the crude oil vapors in the tank ignited, causing it to explode. Employees #1 and #3 died at the scene. Employee #2 suffered burns over approximately 90 percent of his body and was transported to the hospital, where he later died.
