Narrative

Employee had a thermal burn to his left knee. Because of its size and to promote the healing process, it was medically determined that a skin graft was needed. EE was checking brushes on a motor and knew the motor was warm. His knee was contacting the warm/ hot surface for as long as 10 minutes. He later noticed he had a thermal burn.
