Final narrative
A caster operator was removing a safety blank while wearing heavy welding gloves to insert a smaller nozzle in a casting tundish holding molten steel. The blank fell onto the top of the shroud, causing the molten steel to splatter onto his flame-resistant clothing and metatarsal safety boots. He suffered second- and third-degree burns to his lower legs and feet.
