Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:23 p.m. on July 30, 1986, Employee #1 was preparing to repair a metal rack with a gas welding torch. He sprayed WD-40 on the oxygen gas welding regulator inlet connection as a lubricant to help him attach the connection to an oxygen cylinder. When he opened the oxygen bottle valve, the oil from the WD-40 caused the oxygen regulator to ignite. Employee #1 suffered burns from his left forearm to his wrist, and to his groin area. He was hospitalized.
