Narrative

The employee was doing his prehaul checks on a tanker-trailer load that was 70 percent sulfuric acid. He went to hook up the tanker to the trailer. He removed the end cap of the trailer to check that it was not leaking. Sulfuric acid sprayed onto his body from a leaking valve, causing chemical burns to his right arm, his eyes, the top of his stomach, and his back.
