Thanks
for sharing the news that the individual is doing well.
Any chance of getting the =93for some reason=94 part
of the story? As a few might recall in a previous post, I tried
getting some discussion going about NRTL certs on tube furnaces (ovens
being a close neighbor) but managed to wrangle up only a suggestion to
see my pressure vessel insurer for guidance. He didn=92t have much
to offer unfortunately but case studies like this could help us
tremendously (if we can get to the needed detail.)
If those who know Joel (or the EHS person possibly
involved in the investigation?) would be able to help pass along details
of the oven (Make, model) and amt. of MeOH involved at time, it=92s
possible that could have the =93reason=94 sitting in front of
us.

While we are glad this was not worse, =93for some
reason=94 is not an acceptable root cause. I hope that a formal
incident investigation is performed with an identification of the root
cause(s) and corrective actions to prevent a recurrence.
