Employee was not using proper safety equipment to get to an inspection door and then when reaching into door some hot sand came out landing on him. His reaction to getting hit with the sand resulted in employee jerking backwards off where he was standing falling a few feet to the ground. This resulted in minor burns to arms, a twisted ankle & a broken foot.
