Poor guy, I didn't know him, but I hope he has no permanent disabilities, or scars.
One can never be too careful working with chemicals.

Worker severely burned in chemical explosion
By Times Staff Writer
Published January 17, 2004

TAMPA - A container with an acid residue exploded Friday morning in New Tampa, severely burning a 36-year-old man.

Investigators say Kenneth Toledo, a Tampa man who owns a pressure washing business, poured chlorine and water into the container, which had previously been used to apply an acid wash. The container had not been properly rinsed, and the resulting chemical reaction caused the explosion, officials said.

The container exploded as Toledo scaled a ladder to clean the roof of a Hunter's Green home in the 17800 block of Osprey Point Place, pelting Toledo with chemicals and shrapnel. He was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital. His condition was unknown Friday.

The explosion also blew a 2-foot-wide hole in the roof. Tile was scattered about the driveway

Roof Cleaners Tampa very dangerous Chemicals

Every once in a while you run into a guy who doesn't know about the equipment or the chems. I don't know if this is one of thoes guys or just a little careless but it pays to do your homework and get involved in the forums.

 

[gogreenwash]

Very good point always use caution when dealing with chems.

 

[mhpoole]

You know one time years ago I was mixing some chemicals in the shop. The next morning I took the lid off and it about knocked me down with the fumes. Scary stuff!

I have safety meetings monthly to go over the dangers of chemical mis handling. Some of the pictures you can find on the internet will shock you if you mix the wrong chems together.

 

[extremecleantn]

Don't forget not to mix your own chemicals without knowing what your doing!

 

[JRHernandez88]

wow what did he mix?
