Be Careful Making UDS!/Student killed building barbeque
Serious consequences for local high school kids making barbeques at school.
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/St...671/story.html I know that folks on this board are aware of most of the dangers associated with torches and welding, this unfortunate accident reminds us of something else to consider, the fumes from an empty barrel can be enough to ignite an explosion. Several threads have been merged into this thread. Last edited by BobBrisket; 05-27-2011 at 01:08 PM.. |

I hope the kid/s come out okay. It sounds to me like they need a new Shop Teacher.

That is a question on our safety test. But we don't cut barrels in my shop no matter what. If I do cut one I make sure the students are gone.

Student killed building barbecue
An 18 year old student was fatally injured yesterday in Ottawa, On. in his high school auto shop while attempting to build a barbecue. He was cutting a 55 gal drum that previously contained peppermint oil when it exploded, killing the student and injuring 5 others. Let's all be careful out there! thechronicleherald.ca/canada/1245486.html

A reminder about cutting barrels/drums
Here is a link to a news story about a high school shop class making BBQ's out of drums and cutting same.
They were using MT peppermint oil drum. Peppermint oil is not only flammable but will generate heavier than air explosive vapours when heated only slightly. It is also allergenic and produces toxic fumes if burnt. Sadly the latest news is the student didn't make it. http://www.news1130.com/news/nationa...wa-high-school When cutting any closed container you can do the following which, I have come to believe to be a safe and inexpensive method. Put a couple of pounds of dry ice in the drum and wait 15 minutes. Cut away. As safe as it gets with no other problems. If you fill it with water you have to dispose of the water afterwards as hazardous waste.

Don't know all of the specifics, Canadians are reluctant to share any details of a fatality, but they have been building them regularly in their shop class.

Should have been better ventilated, I believe if you run a pipe from your car exhaust into the drum it will neutralize any vapors that may explode.
Don't quote me on this but I think this is right, still very sad.
