Investigation Summary
At 5:00 a.m. on August 11, 2019, Employee #1 was preparing a railcar for unloading. He discovered that a cap seal, which normally stays with the cap of the fill tube, had become wedged into the top of the fill tube. He removed the obstruction, which caused sulfuric acid to spray and splash him in the face. Employee #1 sustained chemical burns to his face and was hospitalized.
