Narrative

An employee was changing pipes to run a clean-in-lace (CIP) circuit. When he loosened the clamp on the jumper at the flow panel, the pressure unexpectedly released, spraying hot water mixed with peroxyacetic acid directly in their face. The employee sustained a severe chemical burn to the face, eyes, and arms and was hospitalized.
