Narrative

Employee was using a pressure washer to clean the outside of a scrubber prior to welding repairs. His face shield became fogged, and he accidentally struck a scrubber support with the nozzle, causing it to change direction and strike his left leg with hot water. He received a second degree burn to his left shin, just slightly above his boot.
