Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 201693850
Event: 02/26/2011
Employee Burned by Molten Aluminium

At approximately 8:00 a.m. on February 26, 2011, Employee #1 was working as a molder. Employee #1 was preparing the molten aluminum in a furnace. The procedure to prepare the molten aluminum starts with adding a flux powder to the molten aluminum to clean the aluminum. A skimmer is used to remove the scrap from the top of the furnace. The skimmer is supposed to be completely dry when doing this. Employee #1 took a skimmer that he tried to dry over the furnace which he has done before. Employee #1 did not notice that the skimmer was still wet and put it in the aluminum. The aluminum reacted with the water and exploded. The molten aluminum splashed on Employee #1. Employee #1 sustained a first degree burn to his left shoulder, and third degree burns to his left foot and scalp.
