Investigation Summary
On June 9, 2006, Employees #1 and #2 were working at a foundry. Their employer had a job order that required them to make 140-ton castings, the largest ever made at that facility. They were placing a 45-ton ladle full of hot molten iron onto a pouring stand, when some of the molten metal splashed over the top of the ladle, striking them. The employer stated that approximately 200 to 400 lbs. of molten metal splashed over the sides of the ladle, severely burning both workers. Employee #1 sustained burns to an arm and elsewhere, and Employee #2 sustained burns to his legs. They were hospitalized.
