Narrative

EE was working in GBF modules. The modules were full of raw kiln feed. He was using a vac hose and grinding screens. His skin was moist from sweating. It came in contact with akaline dust, resulting in alkali burns to both shins, both forearms and both hands. The burns to his shins required skin grafts.
