Narrative

On December 28, 2017, an employee was troubleshooting a pressure washer unit to determine why water was not spraying out of the spray nozzle. Pressurized water and air pressure released when the employee removed the cap/lid to inspect an internal screen. The employee's hand tool and the cap/lid then struck the employee's face, fracturing bones in the nose and forehead and lacerating the right pinky finger.
