## Narrative

The miner was dumping lime dust when the latch on the rear gate of the dump truck wouldn't shut. The miner exited the vehicle to unstick the latch traveling thru the dust. The lime dust entered the miner's boots and was not removed before causing burns to the miner's feet. The burns were caused by the reaction of the dust and perspiration.
