Narrative

Employees were transferring 93% sulfuric acid from a railcar using a transfer pump and hose. The transfer line became pressurized and forced a valve to open, causing sulfuric acid to spray an employee. The force of the spray went underneath his face shield and sprayed his face. The employee sustained second-degree burns.
