Investigation Summary
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on March 5, 1992, Employee #1, of Chevron USA, Inc., was working at the C.O. Boiler area of the FCC plant. He was having level control problems with the deaerator, so he decided to drain the hot water. The area below the deaerator became flooded with hot water. When Employee #1 walked back to the dump valve, he stepped into a cavity near the drain vault, causing hot water to enter his right boot. Apparently, a small hole near the drain vault allowed the escaping hot water to create the cavity. Employee #1 was taken to Brookside Hospital with second-degree burns of his right leg and foot.
