Narrative

An employee was filling anhydrous ammonia tanks. He set the fill hose down on a riser, climbed down the steps of the riser dock to ground level, and picked up the fill hose. The valve opened and released liquid anhydrous ammonia, which sprayed down onto his feet. He suffered burns to both feet and was hospitalized.
