Investigation Summary
On December 11, 1984, Employee #, age 18, was removing sludge through an 18 in. manhole on a 3,000 gallon storage tank that was going to be discarded. Employee #1 dropped the light in the tank and used a nonapproved drop light to help him find it. When Employee #1 lowered this light into the tank, a flash fire occurred and he was burned. The tank was being cleaned in a Division I, Class I or II location, and any light that was used should have been approved for that type of location.
