Employee Suffers Flash Burns from Flammable Liquids

On November 15, 2010 Employee #1 gets burned from flammable liquids. Employee #1 operated machines to cut rubber cushions into required lengths. The machines in use were custom made by the employer over 20 years earlier and were identified as cutting machine #1 and #2. The rubber cushion material is placed in a rubber garbage can from which it is pulled as the lengths are cut. There is a small amount of isopropyl alcohol in the bottom of the garbage can that keeps the rubber cushion from sticking to itself. As Employee #1 bent over the can to retrieve the end of the rubber, a static discharge occurred which caused the alcohol vapors to ignite. Employee #1 received second degree burns to his arms, face, and chest with five days hospitalization for treatment.
