Narrative

An employee was operating a honey roaster. The employee loaded a basket of ingredients to lower into the roasting kettle. There was slack in the hoisting chain, and the employee reached around the roaster's plexiglass guard to move the basket into the kettle. The employee was splashed with oil, resulting in second-degree burns to their arm, calf, and abdomen.
