Narrative

At about 3:30 p.m. on October 1, 2019, a processing blender was changing a soft-drink-making system over from clean-in-place to production. After he broke the line, the system discharged cool water (due to condensation), then steam. He suffered first- and second-degree burns to the chest and back and was hospitalized.
