In this episode, Rob and Molly cover the latest CSB final report on the 2021 fatal vapor explosion and fire at the Yenkin-Majestic facility in Columbus, OH.

On April 8, 2021, a mixture of flammable naphtha solvent vapors and resin liquid escaped through the seal of a closed manway of an operating kettle and created a flammable vapor cloud, which quickly found an ignition source. The resulting explosion and fire led to the death of one employee, injuries to eight others, and over $90 million in property damage.

In this episode, Rob and Molly cover additional details related to the event, including contributing factors, share the CSB's recommendations, and then finally cover key lessons that any company can learn from this incident.
