Final narrative
The injured employee was helping a co-worker near the boiler when he noticed a pressure valve was providing a false reading. He tapped on the fluttering boiler gauge; the gauge dislodged and sprayed hot water (180-190 degrees F) onto his left forearm resulting in a second degree burn.
