Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 a.m. on September 18, 2012, Employee #1 was working at the machine work bench. Employee #1 was working with two, metal containers that were used as dip tanks for cleaning mixing parts. Container A was almost completely filled with mixing parts and a cleaning solvent. In an effect to reduce the quantity in Container A, Employee #1 used tongs to transfer parts into Container B, which was empty. This was being performed within an electric burner. Consequently, during the transferring of contents from Container A to Container B, it contacted the hot burner and ignited. The resulting fire caused third degree burns to the victims abdomen and leg. Employee #1 was admitted to a local area hospital for burns and scalding damage to several areas of his body.
