2 months ago I wound up having roughly 30 litres of caustic solution spill out of our DE filter on to my back, head and right arm. Within 10 seconds of initial contact I was getting hosed down and stripped. Even with such prompt attention, you can see from the photos, the damage was quite severe. I am back to work now and have healed up quite well. I wanted to volunteer these photos for you all to use to educate staff or just gross yourselves out. I also wanted to take this opportunity to remind myself and the community to work safely and maintain a buffer between yourself and chemical operations.
Medical terms; deep dermis 2nd degree burns to 20% of me.
