Final narrative
Two employees were troubleshooting a post-fire event in a pump room. It was found that one or two nuts were missing from the bolts that secured the loose blow-out panel. One of the two employees placed the blow-out panel back in its original position. As he closed the oil chamber, the vacuum increased. Mixing conditions changed and the oil dispersion exploded. The two employees in front of the blow-out panels sustained severe burns.
