With the door closed, Employee #1 prepared a bathroom in a private residence for repainting. He had resealed the electrical outlets in the room and was using steel wool and rags to apply a solution of four parts paint thinner to one part lacquer thinner to the cabinets. A sudden flash of flame occurred, burning Employee #1's legs, buttocks, and right hand. He left the bathroom and doused himself with water. The paramedics transported Employee #1 to an area burn center. | |||||||
