Narrative

Employee was working on a spent HF acid line. After washing the line out with water he began to remove part of the line. His feet got wet during the process. Thinking the line had no acid in it he continued to work on it. Later that night his right foot began to burn. The next day at 0700 hrs there was a blister on it. We then sought medical attention.
