Incident on Jan 26, 1993: Employee injured when chemicals splash on him

Employee #1 was attempting to neutralize a drum containing approximately 40 gall ons of dilute hydrofluoric acid (less than 20 percent hydrofluoric acid) by addi ng dry sodium hydroxide to the drum. The employee mixed in the sodium hydroxide with a wooden pole and noted no indication of a reaction. Employee #1 bent down to pick up a sump pump to place into the drum and, as he began to stand up, the liquid in the drum spewed out, breaking the wooden pallet that the drum was sitt ing on. The liquid splashed into the employee's eyes, face, and chest. The super visor took the employee to the emergency shower and drenched him until the emerg ency fire department technicians arrived and transported him to the hospital. Em ployee #1 suffered chemical burns to his eyes. He was wearing rubber boots, a ru bber apron, rubber gloves, and safety glasses at the time of the accident.
