Investigation Summary
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on July 17, 2008, Employee #1, a welder, was torch cutting stainless steel, wearing a flame resistant jacket, hardhat, and work gloves. The pressure regulator gauges on the fuel supply tanks were not visible due to clouding and scratches. Employee #1 was not aware of the excessive fuel pressure on the torch, causing the line to rupture. This released an aerosol that ignited during the torch cutting, resulting in an explosion that killed Employee #1.
