Investigation Summary
On July 21, 2013, Employee #1, with Perez Farms, was using an injection pump to irrigate and fertilize a field. The hose developed a pin hole, and fertilizer was sprayed into Employee #1's eyes. The fertilizer contained Urea and sulfuric acid (pH of 1). Employee #1 was wearing safety glasses but not goggles. The initial spray blew off Employee #1's glasses from his face and then hit Employee #1's eyes. Employee #1 was hospitalized. He did not suffer permanent damage to the eyes, but his eyes did require unspecified treatment.
