## Narrative

EE and another employee were using a ""big gun"" to hydroblast scale from the walls at the #2 neutralization tank. The big gun was unsecured when pressure was introduced to the system. EE turned to run away from the big gun and ran into a deck mounted motor. This caused deep bruising to EE's right leg.
