| At approximately 1:30 p.m. on January 10, 2006, Employee #1 was for working for a roofing contractor. He was a regular employee of the employer. At the time of the accident, he was pulling a mop cart filled with hot tar for a roofing operation. Loose Senco brand base-fastening tape got entangled with the wheel of the mop cart, which made it harder to move the cart. Employee #1 took his right-hand glove off and pulled a knife from his tool pouch. As he tried to cut the tape with the knife, the mop cart moved, splashing hot tar on Employee #1's right hand. Employee #1 sustained second- and third-degree burns on his right hand and forearm. He required skin grafts on his hand and arm, and he was hospitalized for 6 days. | |||||||
