## Narrative

A maintenance employee was walking through a pit that had water on the floor and a transition to a lower level. The employee stepped into an area intended to collect condensate water being let off from steam lines, which is then cleared by sump pumps. Hot water entered his boot and he sustained burns to his ankle and the top of his foot. At the time of the incident, the sump pumps malfunctioned and failed to clear the condensate.
