## Narrative

An employee was trying to unclog a floor drain. He knelt down on his right knee and inserted the nozzle on a hose into the drain. When he opened the valve, water from the hose and drain (heated to 130-131 degrees Fahrenheit) splashed onto his left arm and into his right boot. He suffered a second-degree burn to the left forearm, right shin, and the top of the right foot.
