Narrative

Employee was operating a forklift near a bulk Dust Foam tank when he ran over a PVC valve on the tank, breaking it. Some of the tank's contents began to leak which he attempted stop by using a rag to plug the valve's broken pipe. As he reached down to plug the leak, he cut his finger on a jagged piece of broken PVC pipe.
