Accident Investigation Summary | ||||||
| Summary Nr: 170833636 | Event: 03/24/1996 | Employee Burned In Heat Tank Explosion | ||||
| Employee #1 was starting up a Hy-Way asphalt heat tank. The heat tank had mineral oil that ran through coils inside it, and a burner that heated the oil and thus kept the asphalt in liquid form. For some reason, the hot oil line ruptured, resulting in an explosion. Employee #1 was covered with flaming mineral oil and sustained second- and third-degree burns over 50 percent of his body. | ||||||
