Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on December 20, 2021, an employee was tasked with "tempering" a steel assembly using an oxygen and acetylene torch to straighten areas deformed due to welding stresses. The employee worked outdoors while heating an assembly with the torch. Once the employee competed work on the first assembly, the employee turned around and worked on a second assembly directly behind them. While working on the second assembly, the employee got too close to the previously heated assembly and the employee's clothes caught fire. The employee received first aid at a nearby clinic for second degree burns to the torso and hand but was then transferred to a hospital and admitted for further treatment.
