Final narrative
An employee was putting metal in a pot to melt. The top of the metal started to solidify; the employee was using a rebar to poke a hole in the top to mix the metal when some of the metal splashed onto coils outside the pot. This caused steam to build up and pressurize the metal, which expanded and flew out of the pot. The employee fell while trying to escape the splash, landing on metal that had hit the floor. The employee suffered second-degree burns to the hands, left knee, and stomach.
