Narrative

On October 26, 2024, employees were preparing to clean a parts washer. An employee went up the stairs and stepped off the platform onto the door frame. They then stepped onto the washer's table to connect an overhead crane to the cleaned parts basket. They walked back across the washer's table to exit and then stepped back onto the door frame with their right foot to reach the step platform. Their left foot slipped and was submerged approximately 6-7 inches in an uncovered water reservoir containing water heated to approximately 170 F. The employee sustained second-degree burns on their left ankle and foot.
