Narrative

Two EEs lowered a hydraulically driven pump into a tank. The pump was suspended from a 2 ton crane mounted on the back of a welding truck & the pump's discharge hose was tethered to a fork truck. EE was on top of the tank to manage the position of the pump. The static thickener rake pulled the pump discharge hose which caused the crane boom to spring & hit EE's leg.
