## Narrative

EE was loosening a 2"" gate valve (with pipe assembly attached) to drain water from a boiler. The gate valve came off unexpectedly allowing hot water to contact the top of the EE's left hand leading to a ""mild"" 2nd degree burn. Boiler had been shut down, pressure released and locked/tagged. EE did not follow instructions, turned the valve too far leading to the valve coming off.
