## Narrative

An employee was reaching for a fill cap to cover the fill port to a propane tank. After the employee disconnected the hose from the propane truck he was filling, his glove or shirt caught the shut-off valve, which opened up the liquid line. Liquid propane splashed on the employee's stomach, resulting in a chemical burn.
