Abstract: At approximately 1:30 p.m. on August 19, 1998, Employee #1 was installing a pipeline when a mixture of steam and oil ruptured from the pipe. The pipe is installed in a flat folded shape and pulled through by using a winching device. Once the pipe has been pulled through, it is "inflated" by using a device, which is pushed through the pipe propelled by a mixture of steam and oil. This device rounds out the pipe and as the heated material cools, it hardens. Employee #1 was waiting at the end of the pipe when the "ram" went through the pipe to round it out; however, the force of the "ram" caused the pipe to rupture. A mixture of steam and hot oil expelled out from the ruptured pipe hitting the employee on the face, chest, arms, and pelvic area. Employee #1 was hospitalized with burns.
