Narrative

While unjamming the multi-mull, a water hose the employee was using knocked into the multi-mull lid. The lid was already open allowing the hot air and lime dust to escape vertically. Once the lid was moved, the hot air and lime was redirected towards the employee causing a chemical/ thermal burn to his face. The employee suffered 2nd degree burns on his nose and left cheek.
