Narrative

IE was helping two other employees change out a section of 6"" poly pipe.The pipe was in a bind because the 90 degree elbow piece above it was on backwards. The three employees were taking the pipe back apart to correct the problem. As they were taking the last bolt out, the section of pipe sprung back striking IE just above his upper lip. The IE received sutures to close the wound.
