Investigation Summary
On May 7, 2003, Employee #1 heated a Pyrex container of viscous plastic gel material and placed it down on a work table to be poured into a mold to make a plastic part. Other employees in the area were working at other long tables pouring gel into molds. This injury occurred due to another employee committing horseplay. A cowirker threw a piece of plastic across the table, splashing into the container. The material splashed up under Employee #1's faceshield, a Huntsman K, Part Number 96000, resulting in his hospitalization with second-degree burns on the right side of the face.
