Narrative

Employee was in the process of lighting a cutting torch during routine maintenance activities. Seconds after lighting the torch, there was a loud noise nearby on the coiled hose reel. A rupture in the oxygen hose produced the noise, and due to proximity, resulted in the employee having ringing in the ear and subsequent temporary disorientation.
