Final narrative
An employee was preparing a line for maintenance work. The line contained a combination of propane and hydrofluoric acid. He was hooking up the hose to the valve to put a vacuum on the line and pull out the remaining chemicals. Before he could place the hose on the valve, residual chemicals came out and splashed his legs, causing skin burns. He was hospitalized.
