I work in operations at a local refinery and last monday got a steam burn (2nd and 3rd)while at work. They have me working 7-330 Monday-Friday and it sucks bad. No more long change for 5 weeks. I cant stand sitting in a cubicle all day. Im ready to duct tape a bandage on and go back to making gasoline.. On the bright side looking at tech all day helps
This way day 2

Ouch. Safety first. Noboby gets hurt. Every accident is preventable. Lock out tag out.

That looks nasty dude, speedy recovery. I know how you feel. I got the day off today, I was standing outside staring vaguely into the sky.

I agree, safety first and they do say every accident is preventable but that's not true. I wish it was true though. I've seen alot of people get hurt that I wish could have been prevented before hand, whether preventable or not.

I hope you have a speedy recovery and are back to normal.

The white part on my ankle doesn't have much feeling. The outer edges hurt like a mo fo.. My accident is preventable now. We developed a standard on steam traps that run them into a sewer. I always wear whatever ppe is required but this time I happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Monday I see the company doc. I'm going to ask him to release me or at the very least ease up on my restrictions. The longer I'm in the training department the more of a chance I'll get stuck there. I like the stress free valve turning job way better.

Wow, thats a rough looking burn man. Sorry to see that happened. Hope its healing well......take it easy, and soon enough you'll be back in the groove.

On another note, every accident is NOT preventable......plenty of measures can be taken to minimize the chance of bad things happening, but mechanical parts fail, plain and simple......wrong place at the wrong time is all it takes sometimes.....

Being an operator myself, I always wear mid calf boots at the very least just for situations like this. That looks pretty painful! Did the steam trap payoff on your leg? Ouch. Dont rush back to the unit too soon...make sure you're all healed up!

Nasty burn there, hope it gets better soon. LD does suck, I just spent 4 months on Light Limited. Got threaten for Captains Mast twice for violating the rules trying to keep in shape.
