Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:10 a.m. on August 22, 2005, Employee #1, a 17-year-old laborer at a fireworks manufacturing facility, was kegging explosive pellets. Explosive pellets are dried in ovens and taken by trays to a workstation consisting of a table on a concrete foundation. Once at the workstation, the pellets are to be placed into fiberboard cylinders called "kegs". Once the pellets are placed into a keg, the lid of the keg is then secured. Employee #1 was moving the kegs to the edge of the concrete foundation for another employee to pickup. Employee #1 placed a keg on the corner of the foundation and as he was turning around to face the workstation, the explosive pellets ignited. Employee #1 was airlifted to U.C. Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, CA where he was treated for second and third degree burns to more than 80 percent of his body.
