Abstract: At about 5:30 p.m. on February 21, 2006, Employee #1 was pickling a coil of wire at a wire manufacturing company. This involved submerging the coil of wire into a tank containing a corrosive material. As he was lifting the coil out with a hoist, the pickle pin became stuck in a heater pipe. When he freed the pin, the wire dropped into the tank, causing the material to splash his arm, stomach and right foot. Employee #1 was hospitalized for second- and third- degree burns.
