Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was making a change on a regulator test station when an unguarded 100-watt bulb attached to the work station bench was struck by a crescent wrench. The bulb, which was within 7 ft of a vat of denatured ethyl alcohol, shattered. Ethyl alcohol is a Class 1A flammable liquid, and the sparks from the shattered bulb triggered a fire and explosion. Employee #1 sustained first-, second-, and third-degree burns.
