## Narrative

Employee sustained first & some second degree thermal burns to his right foot & ankle.  It resulted in restricted work activity. He was at the R-33 high temp digester and was stepping across a shallow (1/2"") trench that contained hot liquor. The toe of his right boot caught the edge of the trench causing the liquor to splash up onto his ankle and down to his foot.
