Investigation Summary
On May 19, 2008, an explosion occurred in the fifth floor mechanical room of a 31-story Hilton Hotel under construction. Pipe unions had been left open following the purging of gas lines, allowing natural gas to escape and fuel the explosion. Employee #1, with Dynalectric Company, was working approximately 8 ft up a 12 ft ladder when the explosion occurred. He fell from the ladder, and was hospitalized for a fractured left heel.
