Understanding Workplace Burn Cases

Common Causes

  • Chemical splashes from improperly stored or handled hazardous materials
  • Steam and hot liquid burns from pressurized systems
  • Electrical arc flash incidents from working on energized equipment
  • Grease fires and flash fires in restaurant kitchens
  • Explosions from combustible dust or flammable vapor accumulation
  • Welding burns from inadequate protective equipment or fire watch

Typical Injuries

  • Chemical burns damaging deep tissue layers
  • Thermal burns from open flames and hot surfaces
  • Arc flash burns covering large body surface areas
  • Respiratory burns from inhaling hot gases or chemical vapors
  • Permanent scarring and need for multiple skin graft surgeries
  • Chronic pain and psychological trauma from the burn experience

Establishing Liability

Workplace burn claims focus on whether the employer maintained proper safety protocols for handling flammable materials, hot liquids, and energized electrical equipment. Failure to provide appropriate personal protective equipment such as flame resistant clothing, chemical splash goggles, and arc rated gear establishes employer negligence. When the burn is caused by a defective product or chemical, the manufacturer may also be held liable under strict product liability principles.

Relevant Texas Law

OSHA fire protection standards under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart L and hazardous materials standards under Subpart H establish employer duties to prevent workplace burns. Texas nonsubscriber employers face direct negligence claims from burned workers under Texas Labor Code Section 406.033. When chemical manufacturers fail to provide adequate safety data sheets or warnings, claims under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82 product liability provisions may apply.
