Event: 10/19/1998

Employee's face burned by flash fire from hot tar kettle

At 12:30 p.m. on October 19, 1998, Employee #1, age 20, was applying hot tar to a roof. When the amount of tar in the kettle was almost empty, he was supposed to turn off the heat source. Employee #1 got on top of the kettle and lifted the hatch to look in. He was apparently using a tool to bring the remaining asphalt to the pump when a flash fire burned his face. Employee #1 was not wearing any personal protection equipment (ppe), and he was not trained in the hazards associated with toxic and combustible vapors. There were no witnesses to the accident.
