Investigation Summary
Employee #1, of American Xtal Technology, was about to wash quartz tubes at a hydrogen fluoride station. She put on one pair of gloves when she was supposed to put on two, and then quickly dipped her fingers in and out of a hydrogen fluoride bath. Employee #1 attempted to remove the gloves, contaminating her right forearm in the process. Coworkers came to decontaminate her. They applied a special ointment and took her to the emergency clinic, where she received treatment. Employee #1, who had been trained that morning, suffered first- and second-degree burns. Because of her chemical burn, Employee #1 quit her job. There were no accident-related violations.
