Abstract: On June 8, 2006, the workers were pouring a concrete foundation for a new structure. Employee #1's task was to move and hold the delivery hose for the concrete boom pump during the pumping operation. After pumping was finished, the pump operator instructed Employee #1 to remain at the delivery hose while water was pumped through the hose to clean it out, and direct the clean out water into a vessel when it came out. Soon after clean out began, air in the delivery line caused the delivery hose to jerk violently. It hit Employee #1 in the face and shoulder, spraying him with the clean-out mixture and knocking him to the ground. Employee #1 suffered a concussion, and lacerations and burns on his face. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
