Investigation Summary
At 9:12 a.m. on October 3, 2018, an employee had finished replacing one of two valves and climbed a stepladder to turn the old valve to check for leaks. As the valve was opened, hot water (temperature approximately 170 degrees F) spewed from the valve. When the hot water splashed onto the employee, he got off the ladder and went to shut off the valve. The employee received second degree burns to his right arm, cheek and back, and third degree burns to his right wrist and was hospitalized for his injuries.
