Investigation Summary
At 9:55 a.m. on October 20, 2000, Employee #1, the grandson of the owner of a welding company, was getting on-the-job training from his grandfather at an oil well site where they were installing and repairing a metal ladder on a 210-barrel production tank that was being set up. The welding was on-going when the tank exploded and burst into flames. Employee #1 was killed. At the time of the accident, the tank was two-thirds full of crude oil and wet fire blankets had been placed over tank openings.
