Final Presentation From DRI Product Liability Conference: An Explosion Investigation, or Ignorance Meets Ignition

By Bruce Nye

    I wasn't able to stick around for all of this, but did hear SEA Inc.'s Mark Mulcahy do a demo of an explosion investigation he conducted involving a fellow who saw fit to weld around a highly volatile separation tank used for biodiesel production.  The welder was badly injured, had complete amnesia of the event, but he and his employer denied he had been welding.

    In a very CSI-like presentation, with plenty of 8 X 10 glossies with circles and arrows, Mark demonstrated how they proved otherwise.  Very entertaining.
