Narrative

An employee was mixing and transferring NaCl (salt water) from the mixing plant to storage tanks. The line may have became clogged causing fluid to continuously circulate and heat up to abnormal temperatures. While troubleshooting the issue, the employee removed the hose and was then sprayed with heated salt water. The employee sustained second- and third-degree burns to the front of their torso, both arms, and both upper legs.
