Narrative

EE received injuries while attempting to restart No. 2 Aluminum Floride Unit in the R-84 Chemicals facility. During the restart, vacuum was lost and the HF was not being pulled through the converter. As this happened, HF gass was released from around the 8 & 9 feed screws and around the seal of the kiln. EE was transported to a hospital for treatment and was released the next day.
