Narrative

Two employees were removing a screw from a high-speed injection molding machine. As they were removing the screw tip, pressurized molten plastic was released through an opening around the screw tip which resulted in both employees being burned by the molten plastic. They sustained burns to the forehead, right neck, face, right arm, and right hand. One employee was hospitalized.
