Final narrative
An employee was beginning to install a thermocouple. He pulled out a plug and discovered it was not connected to a thermowell, but was plugged directly into the asphalt storage tank. When the plug was removed, 295 F asphalt splashed out of the tank and onto his hands, upper chest, and neck. He received second degree, partial thickness burns.
