Narrative

The crew had just finished drilling the hole & had begun to grout the surface. After mixing the 2nd batch of grout a co-worker turned on the pump. As soon as it was turned on, the hose whipped out of the EE's hand & struck the EE in the face/mouth resulting in missing teeth, several cracked teeth, & a laceration to upper lip.
