Narrative

EE & his co-worker were working in Evap in the HI3 unit turnaround. They were heating a pipe that needed to roll for flanges to come together. A rose bud and a maul were being used. While hitting the pipe, scale fell from the pipe hitting EE on the top side of the left arm. Medical evaluation revealed a fracture to the left radius which will require surgical repair.
