Narrative

An employee was operating a gasoline-powered pump to remove water from the ground floor sump of a storage building. The pump became blocked and overheated. The employee was removing the blockage when he was sprayed with hot mud and steam, resulting in first- and second-degree burns to his right hand and left wrist, as well as a third-degree burn to the underside of the left wrist.
