Abstract: At approximately 6:30 a.m. on January 18, 2007, Employee #1 was installing a reheat coil for the interior zones of the hotel's spa area. The HVAC unit is located above the 2-ft by 2-ft ceiling access panel in the hallway of the spa. While Employee #1 was performing his work from an 8-ft A-frame ladder, a fitting for the adjacent hot water pipe separated and sprayed hot water on him. Employees in the area responded to Employee #1's call for help and turned off the valve for the hot water pipe. Employee #1 sustained second-degree and third-degree burns on his left arm, left side of his chest and stomach, and his left leg, and was hospitalized for two weeks and two days.
