## Narrative

The employee was steam cleaning the drill.  He was up on the mast of the drill.  As he went to squeeze the handle to activate the cleaner, the nozzle jumped and he lost control of the wand.  The high pressure water cut the tip of his boot and sprayed hot water onto his left foot causing 2nd degree burns to his foot.
