Narrative

Employee was hunched down near the ground trying to get a return idler to move by hitting it with a hammer. When it started moving he fell forward and put his hands in a pile of hot lime. He was wearing gloves and long sleeves but the lime got in between the two and caused second degree burns on his right wrist.
