Narrative

Two workers were cleaning the inside of the #6 boiler scrubber ducts. EE took a step back to get out of co-worker's way when he stepped into the drain piping being used to flush material from the scrubber ducts. Because of the angle that his foot entered into the pipe, he was unable to remove it for about an hour until a section of pipe was removed. No injuries resulted.
