Narrative

The employee had just started the Clean In Place (CIP) process on an oven in the further processing area. After the CIP process had been started, the employee added additional caustic to the solution. This caused the CIP solution to splash onto the employee's face and chest. The employee was hospitalized for chemical burns to the face, throat, and upper chest.
