Narrative

On January 29, 2022, an employee was walking through a digester area to return a piece of equipment and have it serviced when he fell about 2.5 feet into an uncovered u-drain. The employee contacted the hot condensate (about 180 degrees) that flows through the u-drain, resulting in second- and third-degree burns below both knees. The employee was hospitalized.
