Employee #1 saw the specialist on April 24, 2009, and he was admitted to Torrance Memorial Medical Center, where he was hospitalized until May 6, 2009.
Employee #1 went back to the clinic the next day for a follow-up appointment and he was referred to a specialist. Another employee took Employee #1 to US Health Works Medical Group in Gardena and Employee #1 was treated and released for second degree burns on both ankles, both hands, left elbow and neck. An employee came out of the control room to help out and saw Employee #1 under the emergency shower.

The employee heard yelling from the K-12 area, and he opened the valve on top of the pack column, which closed the bypass valve and it stopped the steam and resin. As the bypass valve was opened, hot steam and resin escaped the pipeline and covered Employee #1. Employee #1 and the coworker were disconnecting their fall protection lines to come down when an employee closed the valve on top of the pack column, which opened the bypass valve that was interlocked with the valve on top of the pack column. A coworker asked an employee to close the valve on top of the pack column because there was vapor emerging from it.
They notified the employee, and another employee instructed them to come down.

An employee checked out the system and instructed them to continue with the work. They informed employees, who had came back to the area, that the condenser was warm. They moved to the west side of the condenser to remove the spool piece and noticed that the condenser was still warm. They removed a flange on the east side of condenser and connected a vacuum hose.
