Narrative

On April 11, 2015, at approximately 0930 hours, an employee was unjamming several bottles passing through a coating hood at the hot end of the man conveyor. As the employee pulled the hot bottles towards himself to unstick them, they hit the floor and shattered. The shattered glass made contact with the hem of his pants, causing a flare up that ignited his clothing. He was burned on approximately 80 percent of his body.
