Abstract: At 3:00 p.m. on September 13, 2021, a forklift operator employed by a wood container and pallet manufacturer reported to a management coworker that their Linde H20 propane-powered industrial vehicle (PIV) was overheating. The coworker instructed the operator to park the PIV and allow it to cool. The employee opened the engine compartment to cool the motor and, without authorization or instruction, removed the radiator cap while the system was still hot and pressurized. This caused hot radiator fluid to spray from the expansion tank, striking the employee. The employee sustained second- and third-degree burns to the torso and arm and was hospitalized for treatment.
