Narrative

An employee was repairing a chemical leak under an ultrasonic cleaning machine while lying on the ground. The employee had used water to identify the leak. The floor got wet and potentially activated the chemical, a solution used for cleaning anilox rolls. The employee sustained chemical burns to their right shoulder, right forearm, and right buttock.
