Investigation Summary
Employee #1 and two coworkers, of Entek/Emark, were attempting to find the cause of a malfunctioning boiler feed water pump. Thinking the problem might be the valve on the outfeed side of the pump, Employee #1 removed the four bolts holding the valve together. He adjusted the wheel of the 2 in. valve slightly, allowing a small volume of hot water to escape. He assumed the line was purged and pulled on the valve, causing it to come apart. It subsequently sprayed approximately 5 gallons of hot water and steam onto his chest and arms. Employee #1 was transported to Emanuel Burn Center in Portland with first- and second-degree burns.
