Description of Incident

A crew member suffered a minor burn on the left lower arm when reaching into a tumble dryer, and their arm touched the metal frame around the door. The incident occurred when the crew member opened the tumble dryer mid-cycle, before it had finished the program, and therefore it had not completed the cooling down session.
