Final narrative
An employee was unloading acrylonitrile from a railcar. He pressure checked the setup, found a leak, and attempted to relieve pressure from the system by removing a bull plug from the bleed location in the piping. The bleed valve was not closed at the time. Material then released from the piping system through the open valve and sprayed the employee's upper abdomen. He was hospitalized.
