Narrative

A compressed system was installed. While energizing with compressed air, an air leak occurred in the piping. The failure caused the piping and the receiver tank to collapse. While escaping the area, an employee was struck in the back by a manlift, causing them to fall. During the fall, they struck their head and sustained a head laceration that required stitches.
