## Narrative

EE was working in an area containing hydrate when his left leg began to sink in a soft spot, while trying to get his leg free, some hydrate got under his slicker suit resulting in a minor caustic burn to the calf area where his rubber boots stop. EE was transferred to another area due to the inability to wear rubber boots until the area is no longer tender. No lost time.
