Narrative

On September 14, 2015, an employee was working from a ground level scaffold. The employee stepped on a section of plywood that was covering a steam pipe. Upon contact, the pipe sprayed hot water (198 degrees) onto the employee's left foot. The employee was treated for second and third degree burns to his foot and released. The employee returned to work with restrictions. On September 22, 2015, at a follow-up appointment, the physician noted the foot was not healing. At approximately 8:00am, the employee was admitted to the hospital to have a skin graft done to his left foot.
