Narrative

Two EE's were attempting to clear a plugged sample point piping, which is a routine duty. As they attempted to clear the pluggage, the sample point piping assembly sheared off from the process pipe it was attached to causing caustic solution to spray both EE's. EE's sustained 2nd and 3rd degree chemical burns.
