## Narrative

On May 18th the main sand plant generator shut down on high coolant temperature.  The site glass for the radiator did not show any fluid in it. The plant operator got antifreeze to fill the radiator.  He attempted to removed the after cooler radiator cap and the pressure caused some antifreeze to be sprayed onto his left forearm.  He was treated for a chemical burn.
