Narrative

Employee was unloading sulfuric acid out of a semi tanker into a storage tank. He forgot to check to see if a gasket was in the coupling device and when he opened the valve to unload, acid sprayed out onto his PPE with a little liquid running down his right sleeve into his glove causing a burn on his right forearm.
