Narrative

An employee was power washing a previous concrete pour to prep for the next pour when he stumbled over the steel mesh that was in place. He then lost control of the power washer wand and the top of his left boot was punctured by the hot water. He sustained second and third degree burns to the foot and was hospitalized.
