Employee Suffers Second and Third Degree Burns

At approximately 4:00 p.m. on March 30, 2012, Employee #1 was watching a molten aluminum flow in a tank. He noticed right before the accident that the molten aluminum tank was going to overflow. As he tried to block the flow at the entrance of the tank by using a metal shovel (wet paint), an explosion occurred in the tank and he felt something hot hit him hard on his left hand and burned his left wrist causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns which required skin grafting and hospitalization for 7 days.
