Narrative

A miner was attempting to light the natural gas burner at the Fine Grind Plant when the burner lit with higher intensity than in the past which EE was not expecting. That caused burns on right arm and right hand. EE was transported to the hospital with non life threatening burn injuries. EE was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and gloves at the time of the accident/injury.
