Narrative

The employee was working in the SVU area of the mill when he was evidently sprayed with some caustic solution. The employee continued working and did not realize that he had a chemical burn for at least 2 hours. This resulted in a chemical burn to his left upper arm that required medical treatment and perhaps some skin grafting.
