Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 a.m. on June 14, 2011, Employee #1, of Haxton Masonry, Inc., was standing on a scaffold and using a Stihl TS 420 Cutquik saw to cut rebar at a construction site. Employee #1 started the saw and raised and tilted it to make a cut in a vertical rebar pole. Employee #1 was cutting the rebar, and gasoline from the saw's gas tank dripped out on to Employee #1's pants. The action of the saw cutting rebar generated sparks, and those sparks landed on Employee #1's pants, catching them on fire. While operating the saw, Employee #1 felt something hot on his left leg and realized that his pants were on fire. Employee #1 used his hands to try to pat out the fire on his leg, causing additional burns to his hands and arms. Coworking #1 was working nearby and put out the fire by using his shirt. Coworker #1 then assisted Employee #1 to climb down from the top of the scaffold. Emergency services were called. Employee #1 was transported to Yuma Regional Medical Center and was hospitalized for over 24 hours for treatment. The employer notified the Division of Occupational Safety and Health of the accident on June 17, 2011.
