Employee is killed while cutting empty fuel tank

At approximately 10:15 a.m. on July 17, 2004, Employee #1 was using a cutting torch to cut the top off of a 500-gallon fuel tank that had previously contained diesel fuel when he suffered a chemical burn and died. He was fabricating a burn barrel so his friend would not have to spend all day burning waste oil in two small burn barrels. This activity was not part of his normal work duties.
