Final narrative
An employee was working in a two-person crew to address a steam leak from a flange. A wooden plug was placed into the flange to reduce and mitigate the leak in preparation for the job. The plug dislodged, and the resulting burst of steam burned the employee's right hand, leg, and face. The employee was hospitalized.
