Narrative

An employee was between the trough and casting pit, cleaning a filter box at the end of a cast. His right foot slipped off the lid of the cast pan and went into an opening where molten aluminum goes into a trough. The employee contacted molten aluminum and sustained third degree burns to his right leg, ankle, and foot.
