Krause Bros Construction · Flash burns (welding)

Employee was working in the screen plant welding on some guards. At a point in the process he had the helmet up and did not put it down correctly for the work he was doing. He felt he may have been in a hurry due to the fact that he had others holding the plate of steel in place while he was tacking it in.
