Narrative

Shift started at 6pm prior evening. During the working shift the employee was clearing raw kiln feed from a transport drag by vacuum method. The hot feed was being cooled by water application to prevent vacuum hose from collapsing. The hot material sloughed into pooled water creating a steam rush that burnt the miners legs. Incident investigated by mine inspector.
