Abstract:
At approximately 5:00 a.m. on July 12, 2011, Employee #1, of Al Miller & Sons Roofing Incorporated, was filling a mobile container from an elevated height with hot tar from the mother tanker at their yard. He went to get a flashlight and then looked into the container to see how full it was. Employee #1 turned around, took one to two steps and heard a boom. Hot tar scalded him when it splashed both his arms from his mid-forearm to his hands, the back of his right thigh and the right lower portion of his back. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital and treated for his burns. The specific cause of the incident is unknown.
