## Narrative

An employee was moving three stacked bins with a pallet jack in the centering room. While turning, the bins struck a wall-mounted control panel, causing an unopened kettle behind the employee to open. Heated bone broth was released. The employee went to close the kettle and came in contact with the hot broth (approximately 200 degrees) resulting in second-degree burns to their legs.
