Narrative

An employee was standing on a step stool and attempting to grab an empty pot from on top of an oven when the step stool collapsed and slipped out from under her feet. As she was falling to the ground, her left hand grabbed a pot of boiling water from a stove below, spilling the contents on her body. She suffered third degree burns to her stomach, chest, left arm, elbow, and left hand.
