Narrative

An employee was transferring molten aluminum into a sow (mold). Condensation dripped from a pipe located above the area into the sow as it was staged to fill. When the molten aluminum came into contact with the water, the molten aluminum reacted and was released into the air, contacting the employee. They sustained burns to their chest, neck, and bilateral upper extremities.
