Narrative

On July 28, 2021, an NG Companies employee was about to transfer mud to a bore pit. He had put the hydro excavation truck in position for the debris transfer and prepared it. When he opened a knife valve, hot water sprayed through the flange onto him, causing second-degree burns to his face, right arm, and right hand; a third-degree burn to part of the right arm; and a broken collarbone. He was hospitalized.
