Narrative

While preparing to load molten sulfur, a truck driver was donning a fall protection harness when the sulfur pump activated. Molten sulfur (approximately 270 F) flowed from the loading arm, struck the closed dome lid of the cargo trailer, splashed, and contacted the driver. The driver was hospitalized with second-degree burns to his scalp and arm.
