## Narrative

While cleaning in the 010 Conveyor area, employees noticed unusual material on the floor, but did not think it was concerning, assuming it was safe since spills or hot materials are normally barricaded. As one employee stepped to retrieve a shovel, the material gave way, and hot material entered their boots, causing a second-degree burn.
