Narrative

Employee was filling the boiler system in the B Building at the Coal Handling Facility with a mix of antifreeze using a pump in a barrel. The system had just reached the proper pressure and he was going to disconnect the air hose from the pump when the antifreeze suddenly shot out of the pump and onto the left side of the employee's face and entered his left eye.
