Narrative

A soy product became thick and stopped circulating. An employee went to remove a hose from the intake of the return pump to check for a blockage. When they opened the cam lock, the hose popped off and sprayed sludge that was approximately 150 F. The employee sustained first and second degree burns to both arms above and below the elbows.
