Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was heating oil in an asphalt distributor. The oil level was below the manufacturer's required minimum. As a result, the monitoring thermometers did not function properly, allowing the oil to overheat and create flammable gases. When Employee #1 opened the hatch to check the oil levels, the oxygen-laden air was introduced to the heated gases and combustion occurred, burning Employee #1 over 40 percent of his body.
