Investigation Summary
At approximately 4 p.m. on July 24, 2013, Employee #1 and a coworker were working on zinc furnace #2A. The coworker was pouring molten zinc from furnace #2A on to the molds while the employee was picking and removing the zinc ingots from the molds then staging them onto a pallet. The coworker noticed water leaking from a mold jacket and coming down on the floor. Suddenly, a rubber hose at clamp joint #4 blew off spraying hot water and steam on both the employee's legs. The apron protected Employee #1 from the front but not the backside. The employee was transported to an area hospital, where he was treated for first and second degree burn on both legs. Employee #1 remained hospitalized.
