Final narrative
An employee was using an oxygen and acetylene torch set to heat up the rollers on the excavator in order to change the tracks out on the equipment. While heating the rollers with the torch, the oil inside the rollers was heated. The pressure from the rollers and heat caused the heated oil to splash on the employee's face, causing second degree burns.
