Narrative

The employee just finished attaching the water line to the water header while setting up a Jumbo drill. Prior to turning on the water line the employee looked toward the Jumbo and then opened a valve on an adjacent air header that was connected to an air hose, which resulted in a laceration and fracture to the nose.
