Narrative

White side supervisor was in the process of switching fill pumps when the surge tank overflowed. The sump pump could not keep up with the flow. The liquor level rose quickly and entered EE's boots resulting in thermal and caustic burns to both lower extremities. Transported by RN to Baton Rouge General ER and hospitalized on Burn Unit.
