Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201925419
Event: 04/02/2011
Two Employees Are Killed from Fire Inside Barge

On April 2, 2011, Employee #1 was inside Barge PPG 214 cutting away the bottom plate on the port side. Employee #1 was using a cutting torch supplied with oxygen and Chemtane fuel gas. Employee #2, the foreman, and an additional seven employees were inside the barge conducting similar activities on the starboard and port sides; two were assigned as fire watches. The activities were conducted towards the bow of the barge. Employee #1 had to lie on his stomach to conduct the torch cutting because of the limited space. A fire erupted near Employee #1. Employee #2 attempted to rescue Employee #1. Employee #1 and Employee #2 were killed as a result of the fire. The additional seven employees escaped without major injuries.
