Narrative

An employee was manually adding soda ash into a tank of heated water while on a mobile ladder. The fluid in the tank began to boil over the sides. The employee went to exit the mobile ladder to avoid the boiling liquid that was beginning to contact their lower legs. The employee lost balance and fell approximately 4 feet to the concrete below. The employee was hospitalized and had surgery for a dislocated left knee and thermal burns to the lower portion of both legs.
