Abstract: At 8:30 a.m. on December 1, 2019, an employee was diagnosing the boiler alarm and flame source.

The employee had not identified that there was audible noise from the exhaust fan that evacuated the boiler system prior to opening the door. This misstep in the start-up process resulted in first and second degree burns to the face and chest. The employee was hospitalized.
