Investigation Summary
On June 3, 2011, Employee #1 was paving and pavement repair contractor, and he was assigned to fill the mobile slurry tank with liquid slurry. Employee # 1 tried to open the safety lid on top of the tank, so he could access the secondary lid using a pry bar which bent the bar. Employee #1 then got a torch from the repair shop and started heating the lid. However, it blew open spraying him with hot asphalt. Employee # 1 sustained serious burned injury to his left arm and abdomen/chest area; he was transported to San Joaquin Hospital in Bakersfield, CA for treatment. The incident was reported to Cal-OSHA by the employer on June 6, 2011.
