Employee Is Burned While Repairing Motorcycle

On July 06, 2004, Employee #1 was repairing a 30-year-old motorcycle at a business that sells and repairs motorcycles. To replace the existing fuel valve, Employee #1 removed it and attempted to catch the remaining fuel in the tank with a metal pan. The pan touched the starter relay electrical connections and created a spark, which ignited the motorcycle. Employee #1's upper torso, left arm, and hand contacted the remaining fuel and caught fire. A coworker and Employee #1's supervisor witnessed the accident and came to Employee #1's assistance. The supervisor and coworker contacted emergency services and attempted to extinguish the fire. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for second and third degree burns.
