"Man badly burned in incinerator accident"


The accident happened at the La Collette site yesterday.

A BUILDER has suffered horrific burns to his face, neck and shoulders after being hit by a jet of scalding steam while working at the new incinerator.

The steam blasted from pipes at the La Collette site with such velocity that Igor Fernandez was hit with shards of debris that pierced his skin.

The 25-year-old was taken to hospital straight after the accident and was due to have surgery this morning.
