Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201271574

Event: 05/13/2001

Employees burned after naptha ingnites

Employees #1, #2, and #3 were attempting to relight a flare that had been extinguished because of dual flow of gases and liquid naptha. Employees #1, #2, and #3 were about 100 ft from the base of the flare approaching the relighting station, which was at the base of the flare. The flare sent a cloud of naptha into the air, which ignited. Employees #1, #2, and #3 employees were burned, and all were hospitalized.

Keywords: BURN, FLAMMABLE VAPORS, FIRE, GAS, NAPHTHA
