Employee Sustains Burns When Gas Vapors Explode

On August 3, 2009, Employee #1 was removing a stuck valve, located at the second to last section of an empty 11,000-gallon gasoline tanker, between the tandem wheels. Employee #1 was using a metal hammer to hit the aluminum valve, but the valve was held in place with metal bolts. He struck the bolt with his hammer, which resulted in the ignition of the vapors. The explosion blew out the internal structure of the tank and part of the roof on the building. Employee #1 sustained second degree burns to his body and was hospitalized for treatment.
