Abstract: At approximately 2:00 p.m. on July 3, 2008, Employee #1, #2 and #3 were engaged in breaking a flange on a 600-pound steam line. Employee #2 was a foreman. Because the bolts were corroded, employee #1 utilized a grinder to grind the stem of the bolts and then used a torc wrench to break the bolts in half. After most of the bolts were removed a sudden spray of boiling hot water engulfed employees #1, #2 and #3 thereby burning them. Employee #1 was burned the most severe followed by employee #2 and then employee #3. All employees were hospitalized overnight.
