Final narrative
An employee was working with hot aluminum sulfate. During the reaction portion of the aluminum sulfate process, the agitator was turned on, causing the aluminum to boil too fast and crack the lid over the sulfate. The hot aluminum sulfate spilled onto the employee, causing second degree burns to the foot and the back of the right arm.
