Investigation Summary
At approximately 8:05 p.m. on November 30, 2011, Employee #1 was cleaning and drying a stainless steel tank, using hot water and ethanol. Employee #1 also hooked up a compressed air hose at the bottom of the tank to dry the tank quicker. At the same time, Employee #2 was heating a solid product in a drum with a torch so it could be poured into a tank, approximately 15 ft from tank. The lid of the tank was opened, and ethanol vapors filled the area. An explosion and fire occurred and both Employee #1 and Employee #2 were seriously burned. Both Employee #1 and Employee #2 were hospitalized for their injuries.
