Narrative

At about 3:30 p.m. on March 12, 2021, employees were loading hot water condensate from a utilities unit into a vacuum truck. When the truck was nearly full, the water supply was shut off. As an employee was disconnecting the hoses for the water, he was sprayed with residual pressurized water from a 6-inch coupling he was disconnecting at the truck. He suffered second-degree burns to both forearms and the left side of the face and neck.
