Narrative

An employee was standing approximately 20 feet away from a coworker that was hooking up a 6,000 psi sewer jet to clean out a pipeline. When the hose was turned on in the truck, the hose came out of the pipeline and sprayed the employee's chest just below the breast line. The employee was cut and hospitalized.
