Narrative

Employee was shoveling from a pile of lime dust & it flushed down & over his boots. He went to clean out his boots & socks & treat his feet with vinegar to neutralize the lime dust. He then put back on his shoes & socks & returned to work. He later put on rubber boots & his feet sweated & the residual dust in his socks caused some burn area to both his feet.
