Final narrative
An employee was using a hand torch to clear a clog in a cocoa butter deodorizing system. The employee was heating the piping with the torch when pressurized air was introduced into the system causing hot cocoa butter to eject out of the top of the collection vats. The employee's head, neck, back, and extremities were covered in the boiling liquid resulting in second-degree burns that required hospitalization.
