Employee Suffers Burns in Propane Accident

At approximately 9:10 a.m. on May 4, 2012, Employee #1, a general foreman, suffered first degree burns due to being exposed to a natural gas fire.

Employee #1 was insulating water pipe joints, by applying foam insulation to the joints, wrapping the insulation with heat activated tape, and applying heat to the tape with a propane torch. During this process a fire occurred, melting a one inch plastic natural gas pipe causing first degree burns to Employee #1's inner arms. Employee #1 was treated at the scene by paramedics and released.
