Narrative

Employee received caustic burns to both arms when material splashed up in the sleeves of his wet gear. PPE was not wore correctly. Employee then did not flush the area until after an hour had gone by. Then the employee washed the area for five minutes and then used a scrub brush on the affected areas. This caused the blisters that had arisen to rupture.
