Narrative

Three employees were removing a broken shaft from an auger. They were using a MAPP gas torch to expand the casing around the auger. Because the auger was not coming out of the casing, canned air was used on the shaft to constrict it. The canned air liquid ignited in the torch's open flame, and one employee suffered first-degree internal throat burns.
