Narrative

On September 16, 2017, at approximately 11:00 a.m., an employee and two vendor employees were repairing a tank dike liner with a heating iron. Flammable condensate leaked from the plumbing at a hammer union on ground level going to the condensate tank. The heat gun ignited the vapors resulting in third degree burns to the injured workers' hands and face. One employee was hospitalized.
