Incredibly, the employee used a disposable lighter to peer into a 55 gallon drum of tire cleaning solvent to determine how much of the solvent remained. He was on his cell phone with the vendor that supplies the solvent at the time of the explosion.
The employee worked for Real Clean Automotive Detailing a company that provides on-site detailing services for 130 dealers in seven states.
I'll withhold my commentary out of respect for the dead, but this story might be a good topic for your dealership's next Safety Meeting.
