Purell related burn: any of you mechanics believe it??
This was presented as a fact at a Safety Moment yesterday.
(we start every meeting with a safety moment...)
I am more than a little sceptical.

Hmmm....I use that stuff alll the time. I need to see if that stuff will light up. Maybe fumes did more than the stuff will in liquid form?? Maybe said employee spilled gas on his hands and thought the Purell would get it off.......the fire sure did, whatever it was!

Chan,
After the lil safety presentation, in my usually politically correct manner, i said "I don't believe it" to a roomful of folks who had directed their attention at the only smoker, me.
Only one guy outa the group of 15 or so backed me up.
Cretins.

MM You ruined it for me! That was what I was going to say! The worse thing I ever saw from Smoking was at the Washington Hospital Center back in the early 70's. I man had a New Pair of Cordurory Pants and was in his Bath Room taking a Dump and some ashes fell into his pants and they caught on file. He Jumped into the Tub and turned on the water but still got some first and Second Degree Burns. He was in ReHab trying to get full use of his legs.
The Heaviest thing I ever learned about Smoking was Insurance for Buildings where we Work. When DC Went No Smoking, the Insurance rates in the 10 story Building I was working in dropped by over $250,000. That is a Hell of a Lot of money for Smoking that most people do not know about!

That alcohol evaporates to quickly to be around by the time he takes a cigarette out,sticks his hand in his pocket for the lighter and then lights it.I don't buy it.If true then there is more to the story.

Bahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Got into work this morning and found an email retracting the Purell burn warning.
Seems the hands were injured in an electrical accident, and someone took the pic, made a nice lil joke on 98% of the company.
Gullible clowns here will believe anything as long as it runs down smokers.

I use that stuff between every patient. Its not the soap that burned him, had to be the combustion. By the way smoking with any flammable material on your body isnt dr approved. Truthfully those dont look like fire burns though.

Now that i see entropys post, looks more like electrical damage. They put this up at a safety meeting, as a joke? seems strange, they believed it and spread the word before facts were accumulated. Must work for the government.

It was put up as the truth by someone who saw it and figured it must be true. Guy wasn't cynical enough and didn't think for a moment.
I work for an oil company which truly believes "Safety is #1"; but too many of our folks believe everything they see in print.
