Narrative

On August 24, 2018, an employee was bleeding out a line carrying cetyl 16-18 fatty alcohol. The material was frozen in the line; when the employee opened the bleeder valve, the hose blew off and struck him in the face. He suffered fractures of the hard palate and nasal spine and a lacerated gumline that required stitches.
