## Narrative

EE was unhooking a hose off the bottom of tank Y-15.  He thought he had bled the pressure off and unhooked the hose.  The hose still had pressure in it.  The bottom of the tank was not dogged off all the way.  When he disconnected the hose, it spread out.  His goggles were loose, caustic went between his face & his goggles into his right eye.
