Narrative

EE was injured when sprayed with Freon while working on a D11T Dozer. The employee drained the system of Freon and while unhooking the air conditioning line when some residual pressurized R134 Freon escaped and sprayed on to his right arm and chest area causing frostbite. The location of the line also makes it difficult to get out of the way in such occurrence.
