Narrative

Employee was welding a steel plate inside belt 18 head pulley chute. During the job, welding sparks caught the employee's right pant leg on fire, burning his right leg. Employee did nothing wrong. He was wearing the proper welding hood and arm sleeves at the time. Considering the confined space, welding sparks were a lot closer than if welding in an open area!
