Abstract: On or about December 7, 1991, Employee #1 walked into the basement area of the batch furnace to check a pump. He had to walk under an elevated, grated walkway when a furnace specialist, working on the peep hole portion of the furnace, accidentally dropped a hot brick from the peep hole refractory. The brick struck Employee #1 on the head, knocking him to the ground. He somehow ended up lying on top of the hot brick, which caused his coveralls to burn in the leg area. Employee #1 was admitted to a clinic in Scranton with second- and third-degree burns on both legs.
