Employee burns leg that slips into caustic KOH wash tank

At 11:30 p.m. on March 3, 2021, an employee working for a fabricated wire products manufacturer was working with two coworkers clearing out a jam. Wire mesh parts fell off the overhead chain conveyor inside the washer equipment. While walking on the walkway inside the washer, the employee's left leg fell through an opening that ran alongside the walkway and into a wash tank. The tank contained 3% potassium hydroxide at a temperature of approximately 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The employee was hospitalized to treat second degree burns to his lower leg.
