Investigation Summary
At approximately 2:00 p.m. on July 22, 1996, Employee #1 was performing a maintenance check of the wastewater pump unit when he observed that the pump pressure was too high. While he was investigating the problem, the cooling system hose slipped off the clamp and sprayed him with approximately 200 degree F water. Employee #1 was taken to Santa Paula Hospital, where he was treated for one week. He was released on light duty and went back to work. The employer was cited for failure to secure or cover equipment to minimize the hazard to employees.
