| Summary Nr: 202539763 | Event: 10/24/2008 | Employee Is Burned In Flash Fire | ||||
| On October 24, 2008, Employee #1 and a coworker drove a Unitized Asphalt Patcher (Model Number 144-CS, Serial Number CS-2412-05) to Hollywood yard to empty it at the end of a workday. The function of this truck is to use hot asphalt to patch potholes. The vehicle includes a build-in emulsion tank with a spray hose for cleaning, a conveyor to roll asphalt out from the patcher, and two burners at the front end to maintain asphalt at a designed temperature. Employee #1 was at the back of the truck, and had operated the conveyor to empty excess asphalt from the patcher. He then used the hose to spray E-SOY from the emulsion tank to clean inside the patcher. While spraying the sides of the back door, a flash fire occurred. Employee #1 was transported to Cedar Sinai Hospital, and then transferred to USC Burn Center, where he was hospitalized for second-degree burns to his right arm, right ear, and right side of his face. | ||||||
