Final narrative
An employee was pouring molten steel into a mold. Some of the steel passed through a trench cover's lifting holes and came into contact with water. This created superheated steam, which caused the molten steel to spray back through the holes onto the employee. The employee suffered second-degree burns on 18 percent of the body: arms, upper front torso, face, and mouth.
