Narrative

An employee was washing sugar cane pulp off the floor of a mill area while wearing knee-high rubber boots. The employee stepped onto a floor grate when it shifted, causing him to step into a floor drain with his right leg. Hot water that was in the drain entered the employee's boot, resulting in burns to his ankle and foot.
