NAICS industry code: 324110

A crew of two was attempting to blind/isolate the loop to the re-slurry control valve to the north rise. As the employees were loosening the bolts to open the pipe and placing the blind, a valve that was holding back the slurry opened. This released the hot slurry (640 degrees Fahrenheit) onto the employees performing the work. Both employees sustained thermal burns from the slurry and were hospitalized.
