Narrative

An employee was washing a barn using a pressure washer. Pressurized water struck a divider board, which then fell and struck the employee's arm causing the hand holding the pressure washer hose to angle down. The pressurized water then lacerated the employee's right foot behind the steel toe of his boot. The employee was hospitalized.
