At 9:00 a.m. on January 31, 2022, an employee who worked as a General Laborer fo r an Industrial Nursery was filling propane cylinders from a bulk propane tank. As the employee was finishing filling a cylinder, he began to remove the filling hose before shutting off the propane. As a result, the gas escaped and caused freezing burns to the employee’s hands, requiring hospitalization.
