## Narrative

Working in steam bay the employee rolled a creeper under a D10 dozer to gain access to clean the underside of the machine with a pressure washer.  While removing the creeper from under the machine, the wand slipped out of his hand and engaged the trigger on the wand.  The hot water shot him underneath the face shield and burned the skin on the right side of his face and neck.
