Narrative

Two employees were working at the C-10 conveyor. One was cleaning debris under the conveyor with the water hose. As he threw the hose over the belt, the valve on the hose hit the belt and turned on causing the hose to release the water pressure. The pressure caused the hose to swing around and the hose hit him in the head causing injury.
