## Narrative

He was flushing the SNCR return cooling line with sulfuric acid when the pimp dead headed. The line was pressurized. He attempted to depressurize the line by removing the hose and loosened up the hose clamps and started to remove the hose when the pressure from the line pushed through the rubber gloves causing it to spray on his arm and shirt.
