Narrative

An employee was repairing a natural gas line leak on an extreme heat day (which entailed using a hand shovel to dig two 19- to 20-inch holes in packed soil: one hole to expose the gas line to stop the flow of gas and one to make the repair). The employee had a heart attack and was hospitalized.
