## Narrative

EE was working at the surface and was un-screwing a cap on a tanker truck. EE began to bleed the pressure from the pressure relief cap on top of the tanker truck assuming there was minimal pressure present. The cap flew up and struck the EE in the face. This caused a laceration to the lips and a fractured maxilary bone. EE was treated and released with no lost time or restr. duty.
