Narrative

2 mechanics were hoisting an 8 in. flanged fitting of discharge hose to re-attach it to a pump that had been repaired. One bolt was put into the flanged fitting to and secured in place with a nut to hold it in place. Due to the tension on the hose, the bolt popped loose causing the hose to break free hitting the mechanic in the lower lip causing a laceration.
