Fire in a Contaminated Cutting Facility (continued)
The supervisor of the area was tasked by management to "...bring the facility into
full compliance with the fire protection program and procedures before resuming
torch cutting operations."
All loose combustible materials in the facility were removed and all fixed
combustible materials were protected.
Two days after resumption of torch cutting operations, a passing technician
noticed a fire in some bags of trash stored outside the facility metal wall. He
found the nearest fire extinguisher and put out the fire.
Follow-up investigation found that the seam where the metal wall met the floor
had been separated by visible damage allowing the passage of sparks outside
the wall. Further inspection of the area found numerous instances of
combustible materials stored within the forty foot limit.
None of the workers in the facility during the two occurrences were aware of the
procedural requirements specific to that facility.
