Investigation Summary
At 4:00 p.m. on January 15, 2021, Employee #1, employed in production, was pumping sulfuric acid from the production line into a truck tank for transfer to Mosaic's storage tank. While performing this task, the employee opened the bottom valve of the pump system, which caused residual sulfuric acid, under pressure, to spray onto the employee's legs. The employee suffered chemical burns to both legs as a result of the exposure. The employee was hospitalized and treated for the chemical burns.
