Abstract: On May 3, 2005, an employee was instructed by his supervisor to unplug the tamol tank which contained hot water at 90 degree Fahrenheit. The employee was suppose to drain the hot water with a pump first and then unplug the valve. The employee went underneath the tank and placed compress air in the valve to unplug it. He indicated that he accidently opened the airline with his tools and the compress air forced the hot water out of tank. The hot water splashed on the employee's back, right arm and shoulder, left wrist, back of neck, and right ear.
