Investigation Summary
At 11:15 p.m. on July 16, 2019, an employee was cleaning a tank trailer with water heated to approximately 200 degrees Fahrenheit by pumping the water into the tanker using a hose connected to a pump. The employee turned the pump off and started to disconnect the hose from the truck when the residual pressure in the hose caused hot water to spray onto the employee. The employee suffered 2nd degree burns to 3% total body surface area (TBSA), including his abdomen and thighs, and was later hospitalized.
