Employee Sustains Second-Degree Burns in Slag Pond

On November 12, 2007, Employee # 1 was standing on a platform and attempting to unplug the drain plug with a wooden plug remover in order to drain slag from one section of the pond to the other. The drain plug was located approximately 18-in. deep at the base of the slag pond. There was no guarding system in place to protect contact with the hot (141-degrees Fahrenheit) slag. In the process, Employee #1 lost his balance, stepped backwards into the slag pond containing hot water and sustained bilateral second-degree burns of both the legs. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
