Narrative

On October 9, 2023, an employee was checking the level on a pipe in which a T-connection was to be installed on a water line. Two valves had been shut off to isolate the water and pressure. One of the valves failed, allowing air and sand to spray on the employee. The employee struck against a pipe behind him and was pinned sustaining a fractured left tibia.
