Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 170725535 | Event: 07/29/1992 | One Employee Killed And One Injured Purging Pipeline | ||||
| Employees #1 and #2, of Texaco Trading and Transportation, Inc., were discharging crude oil under 360 psi nitrogen pressure into a vacuum truck to purge a pipeline approximately 2 miles long. The discharge pipes on the vacuum truck had been modified to accept the vacuum hose. The vacuum hose male connector broke, releasing crude oil and nitrogen. Employees #1 and #2, who were between the vacuum truck and the discharge point, were struck. Employee #1 died of oil inhalation and pulmonary edema. Employee #2 suffered oil inhalation and broken bones, lacerations, and cuts. Inadequate work practices and inadequate purging design caused this accident. | ||||||
