## Narrative

Employee was installing an air canon on the South Docksider North vessel with witness. A piece of pipe with flanges on both ends was threaded to the discharge valve of the air canon. When he pulled on the 40 lb pipe it came out of the threads and fell 4 ft onto his right foot. The pipe landed right where the end of the steel cap ends on his shoe and crushed his big toe.
