## Narrative

Employee suffered a chemical burn to the first, middle and ring fingers of his left hand. He was using chemical rubber gloves to pull a blind. As part of the job a 1 1/4"" socket was needed. He pulled the socket off the impact gun but doesn't remember if the rubber gloves were on when he did so. He suspects HF acid could have contacted his skin when he was putting his tools away.
