Final narrative
An employee was working in inedible rendering when she went to open a valve for production flow to the birds. The steam ball valve was either in the open position or steam pressure was still in the line which caused the product flow line to be under pressure. The pressure caused the back feed which overflowed the tallow tank and hot tallow sprayed onto the employees upper left back and right arm and hand resulting in second degree burns.
