Investigation Summary
At 8:11 a.m. on February 22, 2019, an employee cut a two-inch steel pipe connected to an above ground storage tank with a Husqvarna partner saw. As the sawblade cut through the pipe, a fine mist of fuel sprayed the employee's legs, which was then ignited by the hot saw blade. The employee's pants caught fire and melted to the employee's right leg and caused second and third degree burns to the right thigh and lower leg. The employee was hospitalized to treat the injuries.
