Narrative

An employee was on a ladder troubleshooting a faulty CO2 sensor. As she was removing the existing mounting bracket, a hot water pipe became dislodged due to corrosion and sprayed her with hot water, causing her to dismount the ladder and fall on the floor. She suffered hot water burns on her upper and lower back and left ribs, as well as bruises from the fall.
