Although a worker in Yorkshire, England still suffers physically and mentally from a severe chemical burn at an oil refinery, co-workers were able to get him quickly to an emergency shower, and after that, to a hospital for treatment.
The Grimsby Telegraph reports that the accident occurred when 51-year-old Jack Vickers was loading molten sulphur (while wearing a chemical mask and protective clothing). He was attempting to detach the loading lance from a loading arm when his foot went into the open lid and into the tanker.
