Narrative

An employee was finishing a vertical mold set-up when the lid fell. The employee entered the mold to try to retrieve the lid. The mold next to the one he was in was filled with molten steel. He could not get out of the mold and was burned by the radiant heat from the adjacent mold. He suffered burns to 6% of his body (hands, back, buttocks).
