At approximately 8:30 a.m. on May 22, 2002, Employee #1 was on a 6-foot-high scaffold in a process area at a petroleum refinery. The employee was a maintenance foreman working with outside contractors to prepare for a scheduled overhaul of the process unit. When Employee #1 moved the 0.75-inch steam condensate return pipe back onto its support bracket, it broke and sprayed him with 160-degree water. The employee jumped six feet to the ground to escape the hot water spray. He suffered second and third-degree dermal burns and was hospitalized. | |||||||
