Narrative

EE was working in product screen, in which he needed to lay on his back while performing the work. It was a hot area. He wore a tyvek suit to prevent lime exposure, but he sweat enough to draw the lime through to his back. Over time, the EE didn't remove the lime in a timely and therefore got a 2nd degree burn.
