Narrative

Employee was assisting two other employees with the removal of a cleanout door on the discharge side of a 10"" pump, in an attempt to unplug the line. They were not aware that there was a buildup of hot water and steam in the pipe behind the door. As he was removing the bolts, the door broke free and the sudden escape of steam and water burned the employee on the left forearm.
