Abstract: At 6:00 p.m. on October 25, 2017, Employee #1, employed by a utilities company, was engaged in sewer line work at a military housing area. He was installing a lining to waterproof an existing sewer pipe. The installation involved the use of boiling water in the liner. When the water did not drain properly, Employee #1 reentered the manhole and used a Sawzall reciprocating saw to cut the pipe liner. The scalding water sprayed upward at high pressure, striking Employee #1 and burning his upper body and legs. His face was protected, because he was wearing a full face respirator when he entered the manhole's confined space. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for second degree burns over 40 percent of his body.
