Investigation Summary
On January 6, 2003, employees were working at a metal fabrication marine yard that primarily produced offshore oilfield structures. A large steel bridge footing was being manufactured when an ignition occurred due to welding gases, including propane and oxygen. Employee #1 was grinding while standing on a 4-ton top plate of the chamber. He was killed when he was vaulted from the structure when the explosion occurred. Employee #2 was hospitalized with hearing loss. Employee #3 was hospitalized with a back strain. Other employees were injured, but not hospitalized. Some received burns, or concussions and others received facial injuries due to flying debris.
