Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

A HEAT PACK WAS BEING ACTIVATED. WHEN SQUEEZING HEAT PACK, IT EXPLODED ON ME, MY ARM, SCRUBS, AND FACE. GRABBED A SECOND HEAT PACK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THAT ONE. PRODUCT FROM THE HEAT PACK COVERED ME, THE FLOOR AND A NEARBY WALL AND TABLE. THE FIRST ONE I SQUEEZED AND THE FOURTH ONE I SQUEEZED ACTIVATED AS THEY SHOULD.
