Abstract: At 1:00 p.m. on April 11, 2019, an employee was operating the washing machine to wash flake prior to reprocessing it into pellets. The employee noticed the water and material were not rotating so he presumed the water was no longer being fed into the washing machine. The employee walked to the side of the machine and while standing directly in front of the pipe cap he began to remove it. When the employee removed the cap, hot water sprayed his lower abdomen, right side, and right leg. The employee was hospitalized to treat burns to his abdomen and right leg and cellulitis.
