Investigation Summary
On April 29, 2005, Employee #1 was moving hoses between tanks during the bulk delivery of ammonium hydroxide. When a pump motor failed, the corrosive liquid flowed back through the pump and splashed on the employee's face and shirt. He was hospitalized for causing burns to his eyes and severe irritation to his respiratory tract. The investigation revealed that a check valve had been removed from the pump. This check valve would have prevented the backflow of the corrosive liquid.
