EMPLOYEE FATALLY BURNED IN DRUM EXPLOSION

This consisted of adding approximately 20 gallons of toluene from a 55 gallon drum, to an open top vat containing rubber and some clay as a filler, and a solvent. He was to add the toluene and mix and let this mixture sit overnight and soak. The vapors evidentially ignited the drum containing the toluene and it exploded. There was a large flame. Employee #1 was severely burned and died October 5, 1986. A plastic pail was used to transfer the solvent, the pump was not grounded. There were no witnesses.
