Narrative

An employee sustained burns to the left side of his body. The dryer feed belt had gone down, causing an accumulation of 210 degree crystal and liquid.

A blockage higher in the chute broke free and ejected hot material where he was standing, he tried to turn away but it contacted his left side.
