Narrative

Two maintenance employees were disconnecting utility lines to remove a large oven. The injured employee was lying on his right side applying a valve lock device beneath the oven when his coworker cut the compressed air line, releasing the residual air pressure and allowing the door to glide down and pin the employee to the floor. The employee was hospitalized with rib compression fractures.
