Final narrative
An employee was diagnosing an issue on a destoner. The employee went up a set of stairs and climbed onto the equipment. To get down, the employee jumped down onto the 180-degree pre-heat water reservoir cover. When the employee jumped down, his right leg landed on a carrot, which caused part of his right leg to go into a 3-by-3-foot open hatch and into the water below. The employee suffered second degree burns to his lower right leg.
