## Narrative

EE approached the sump to the north and perched himself onto a fixed concert support base and attempted to use a shovel to clean-off the grating. While cleaning off the grating, the EE repositioned himself which caused his right foot to slip off of the base and submerge 3-feet into the hot slurry. The hot slurry overflowed into the EE's boot immediately.
