An employee was using a pump sprayer containing a mixture of water and chemical cleaner to clean the condenser coils on an air conditioner condensing unit. After spraying the chemical mixture, the employee placed the sprayer wand on the ground next to him. The wand then sprayed the cleaning mixture onto his pants, causing chemical burns to his lower left leg that required hospitalization.
