A Chemicals I&E Technician was sprayed in the face with a liquid assumed to contain condensated hydrogen fluoride. The miner was in the process of performing routine preventative maintenance on an instrument tap. The system that the miner was working on is expected to be under a vacuum under normal conditions.
