Narrative

Employees were pouring molten metal when one of the employee's hands became hot, causing them to let go of one side of the ladle. The ladle tipped to the left, spilling metal onto the floor. It then splashed up and into the boot of the injured employee, resulting in burns to his left leg and foot.
