Summary Nr: 200053601 | Event: 07/13/2009 | Employee Is Burned By Hot Asphalt During Transfer Operation | ||||
At approximately 8:45 a.m. on July 13, 2009, Employee #1 was one of three employees unloading asphalt product from rail cars and into storage tanks. During the transfer process, the system experienced an increase in pressure. The hose in use, a hot asphalt transfer hose, separated from its fitting. When the hose separated, heated asphalt product was released from the system via the open valve on the rail header. Employee #1 was positioned under the railcar when the asphalt covered him. The asphalt was approximately 240-degrees Fahrenheit at the time of the exposure. Employee #1 suffered severe burns and was hospitalized. | ||||||
