Employee Is Burned by Broken Hot Water Pipe

At approximately 3:05 p.m. on July 7, 2009, Employee #1 was working for Nelson Carlson Mechanical Contractors. He was taking measurements of a pipe rack system. He used an 8-ft stepladder to gain access to the top of the pipe rack system which was located approximately 11 to 12 ft above a concrete floor. He was on top of the pipe rack system and either leaned against, or stepped on a hot water line, which caused a coupling to break. He was sprayed with scalding hot water which caused second degree burns to his right forearm and right leg. He was hospitalized for treatment of his burns.
