An employee descended a ladder inside a barge tank to take depth measurements of the lining. About 2-3 rungs from the bottom of the ladder, he turned and jumped to leap over a puddle of liquid around an inside pump. The employee landed in the liquid, which splashed on his face and eyes. The liquid was caustic and the employee suffered loss of vision in his right eye and third degree burns on his legs.
