A lawsuit against Fort Worth-based Frac Tech was dismissed in a Parker County district court Tuesday by the plaintiff as a result of the settlement, according to court documents.
The worker, Joyce Burton of Jackson, La., was working for L&B Transport in February 2008 when she was unloading hydrochloric acid and a hose fitting came loose, spraying the acid onto her face and body, according to a news release from her attorney.
When Burton attempted to wash away the acid using one of the two safety showers available to her at the Aledo facility, she discovered that one was not working properly and the other was locked and inaccessible, the release said.
“Ultimately she was taken to a hospital in Weatherford,” Hart said. “I think for anyone in that business, safety has to be a No. 1 priority.”
