Narrative

A production employee was going to switch pumps at the sulfuric acid system. He put his chemical gloves on, but did not put his chemical suit and face shield on. When he switched to the backup pump, acid sprayed from a weakened connection on the pump and caused several small burns to his back. He was prescribed an antibiotic to ward off infection.
