Narrative

An employee was reinstalling an agitator pump at the edge of a heated liquid salt tank (600 degrees F). The bottom of the pump rests on a mount and the pump is attached to it with bolts. The alignment tool slipped out of the bolt hole and the employee's left hand contacted the heated liquid salt resulting in burns to the knuckles on his hand.
