Investigation Summary
At 6:10 a.m. on April 15, 2021, an employee was working as a technician at a petroleum refinery. After running some tests, he was cleaning tubes in the quality assurance laboratory with a solution that contained sulfuric acid. One of the tubes slipped from the employee's hands and bounced onto the lab's countertop. The employee tried without success to catch the tube before it fell. The tube bounced up from the table toward the employee. Its contents spilled out and splashed onto the employee's face. The employee suffered chemical burns to his cheeks. He was treated without hospitalization.
