Abstract: At 11:15 a.m. on December 30, 2009, Employee #1 was cleaning a sauce filler machine tank. Employee #1 was splashed by hot water at the start of the draining. Employee #1 was not wearing adequate splash safety gear on her first cleaning of this machine and there was a miscommunication between an experienced employee and Employee #1 left Employee #1 with the impression that the filler tank was empty and all that was needed was to open the drain plug. Employee #1 sustained second degree burns to the right arm, abdomen and thighs. Employee #1 was admitted to UC Davis Medical Center Burn Unit for two days of treatment for the burns. Employee #1 was a Line Coordinator employed by Campbell Soup Supply Co. in Sacramento, CA. The accident was reported to Cal/OSHA at 2:30 p.m. on December 30.
