Occurred during the cleaning of the pumping system, the old product container (mother bin) and the containment basin. The system was rinsed with water and there were some product residuals left in the old mother bin and containment basin. During the cleaning, it may be possible that there was some splashing of chemical diluted with water. The subject believe he had an indirect contact while disposing of the PPE, and some of the chemical got on his shirt. His shirt was wet because of the sweating under his PPE. The subject believes the wet shirt contributed to enhance the chemical spreading on his shirt and body. He went back home and shower at the end of the day. He did not feel any burn or rashes but 24 hours after, the skin on his chest started to get red and 48 hours after rashes and 1 and 2nd degree burns appeared. No prescription medication were provided. Polysporin and Vitamin E cream were applied.
