Narrative

An employee was operating a welding machine when they saw a flash inside the pipe. The employee then got on a crawler to navigate inside the pipe so they could check the interior weld. The pipe was 40-feet long and 32-inches in diameter. When the employee came back out of the pipe, they were positioned on their hands and knees, and their right foot was crushed by the moving pipe. Four toes were medically amputated.
