Investigation Summary
On August 8, 2003, Employees #1, #2, and #3 were cleaning up a 5.5 gallon spill of gasoline in the cutty of a Baha boat. The gasoline had flowed into the cabin and the employees were trying to clean it up using a standard craftsman wet and dry vacuum. After vacuuming up gasoline for approximately 1 minute, an apparent electrical spark in the vacuum initiated a gasoline vapor explosion. The explosion caused the boat to catch on fire. Employees #1 and #2 were on the boat and were caught in the explosion. Employee #3 was on the dock and was blown backwards by the resulting pressure wave. All three employees were injured and received various burns to their bodies and were hospitalized.
