Investigation Summary
On October 18, 2011, Employee #1, of Bodycote Thermal Processing Incorporated, was performing duties of a maintenance supervisor. He needed to drain a clogged pipe. Employee #1 loosened the collar of the clogged exit pipe that tightens the hose to the pipe fitting. Suddenly, the hose ejected off of the pipe and scalded him on the left side of his neck, shoulder, and his left arm. Employee # 1 was hospitalized and treated for second degree burns (due to the sudden release of high pressure water, steam, and black galvanized pipe residue), which included skin grafts. The facility involved in the incident treats metal and employs approximately 38 people. The machine involved in the incident was a continuous belt furnace (Number 70) manufactured by Mahler.
