Narrative

An employee was cleaning a flow meter after applying anhydrous ammonia as fertilizer for corn. When he finished taking the flow meter out of the system, the meter still had product in the line. The product came out of the line and leaked onto the back of his legs, burning his lower calves and requiring overnight hospitalization.
