Narrative

An employee was working with another employee on top of an oil storage tank at a field site, dismantling piping and attachments to the tank. They had removed a piece of 4-inch vent piping and were attempting to throw the pipe to the ground. While they were throwing the pipe from the tank top, the pipe caught the harness of the injured employee, causing him to fall 15 feet to the ground. He broke his right wrist and pelvis. The employee's fall protection harness was not tied off at the time of the incident.
