Narrative

At 12:45 a.m. on July 26, 2022, an employee was trying to connect an air line to a port behind a vacuum press. A water hose that supplied 190-degree water to the press ruptured at a point about 2 1/2 feet off the floor. It sprayed hot water on the employee, knocking him down and causing second-degree burns from his lower torso down to just below his knees.
