Investigation Summary
Employee #1 had asked for and was given three 55-gallon drums that had contained isopropyl alcohol. He wanted the drums for barrel racing competitions at a saddle club to which he belonged. He stored the drums in the plant maintenance shop and remained at the plant after work hours to weld shut their lids. On the last drum, he burned through the lid and ignited the alcohol vapors. The drum exploded and the top struck Employee #1 in the head. He suffered a concussion and was killed, suffering a concussion.
