## Narrative

EE was assisting in the cleaning of our mud tank. The mud tank consist of kiln dust and water mixed together resulting in a slurry type material. The alkali from the kiln dust caused the employee's feet to burn. The employee did not wear his rubber boots. Instead he wore his regular work boot to complete this task.
