Employee sustains burn from hot metal ladle

At approximately 6:00 p.m. on January 8, 1994, Employee #1, of Cast-Rite Corporation, Gardena, CA, was removing a part that was clogged in a die cast machine, Toshiba model DC 500, serial #801197, when a ladle containing hot molten aluminum contacted his skin. Employee #1 sustained a third degree burn from his right hand up to the elbow and was taken to Manhattan Medical, Gardena, CA, for treatment and then to Gardena Memorial Hospital for burn treatment and hospitalization. Cast-Rite Corporation specializes in custom aluminum die-casting for the automotive and electrical industries.
