Narrative

Process operator cleaned off level transmitter for RIL feed hopper. EE noticed the level in the vessel rising and exited the platform using the access ladder. EE made it to the ground and the vessel overflowed, causing hot slurry to hit them on the right side of the body, partially filling their right and left boots with hot slurry. The hot slurry burned their bilateral lower legs.
