## Narrative

Detached a plugged 3' long 3"" to 2"" reducer from our concrete pump. Stood vertical to unplug, when tapping reducer on the ground to remove concrete, the concrete shot up the pipe striking the employee in the face, forcing the employee's goggles up and covering the employee's right eye with concrete.
