Employee dies from steam burns

On May 25, 2002, Employee #1 and his supervisor were slowly opening a 30-psi manual steam valve on a 30-in. steam line during plant start up procedures. When they heard what they believed to be a water hammer occurring in the line, they attempted to close the valve. The valve blew apart, the line separated, and Employee #1 was burned over 80 to 90 percent of his body. He died from his injuries on July 30, 2002.
