Narrative

EE had been waterblasting the preheat tower. When he opened one of the doors to water blast that area some dust got on his sleeve. When he lowered his arm the dust managed to go from his sleeve down into his welding glove and burned the back of his left hand. He received second degree burns and a prescription was used in the treatment.
