Hi all I work in safety and have had an incident I am due to go and investigate. Basically we have had a water gauge crack resulting in boiling water being spraying out of the radiator cap at an operative.

I am being told that it was due to overheating. Does anyone with a technical background have any idea how or what caused this?

Thanks

Fins could be plugged up. as for hot water on opperator. I d say the opperator removed radiator cap and thats what sprayed him.Not saying it couldnt happen , but usually coolant will come out when hot and cap will stay on and coolant just blows down. If his hands got burned, then he removed cap.
