Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on August 2, 2011 Employee #1 was on a loading dock filling a 33 lb. forklift propane cylinder. A truck driver had just backed a tractor-trailer loaded with approximately 200 cylinders into the dock area and was assisting Employee #1. Reportedly, while removing the cylinder's the fill hose, a valve became stuck. Employee #1 turned the bottle upside down and struck it on the metal floor.
