"This is the worst circumstances of death I have ever, ever witnessed," Deputy District Attorney Hoon Chun tells the AP. "I think any person would prefer to be — if they had to die some way — would prefer to be shot or stabbed than to be slowly cooked in an oven."

I am wondering if the settlement was so low because there were safety procedures violated.
Possibly, but I think we'd need more info, because from what this says it was the safety manager who violated and the employee was not the safety manager.

My BIL lost his arms when his boss turned on the auger he was working on. The boss KNEW he was in there, there was another employee standing next to the button to turn it on (didn't lock it out/no way to lock it out) so no one would touch it, and the boss STILL turned it on. He forgot that BIL was working on the machine.
Human fallibility is real. This is why safety measures ALWAYS need to be followed.

You know I work in manufacturing and agree with you 100%. We had someone here get most of his arm ripped off cleaning a machine that was on. One of the Maintenance guys saved his life.

Yep. Heavy machinery and chemicals are not to be taken lightly. It feels like it gets routine, but, man, you get complacent and sloppy and someone can get hurt.

You are right, it's so scary. I hate all the stories about people falling into Vats of acid. I start running when the Manufacturing Managers start with their stories.

I can't even imagine this. 270 degrees isn't that high. How long did it take this poor guy to die??
270 degrees is 58 degrees over the boiling point of water. Human skin will sustain a 3rd degree burn in 5 seconds when exposed to 140 degrees. I don't think it took him that long to die, but it wasn't instantaneous. The man was roasted.
