Narrative

On June 9, 2012 at approximately 6:40am an employee stepped in a puddle of caustic slurry. The employee did not notify supervision of the incident until Tues June 12th. The employee received burns to both of her feet. Any notification of supervision within approximately one hour of contact with this weak caustic would have prevented a recordable and lost work day.
