## Narrative

HDPE Pipe had fallen and workers were attempting to lift the pipe back up. Pipe became lodged behind angle iron and closer worker bent down to get a tool to try and pry the HDPE pipe loose.  At that moment, the other worker, who was further away, managed to loosen the pipe and it flung backwards hitting the worker in the face.  Safety glasses pushed in on face.
