Final narrative
An employee and a coworker were using an air-operated diaphragm pump and hose to transfer hot cooking oil from a fryer into a travel tote.
The employees made the connections, turned on the air supply to the pump, and commenced pumping. After a few minutes, the discharge hose split due to the temperature of the oil (approximately 250 degrees) allowing the oil to splash the employee. He suffered third degree burns on his hands, abdomen, groin, and lower extremities.
