Abstract: At approximately 7:53 a.m. on June 28, 2004, Employee #1 and a coworker were installing a 3-in.-diameter pipe on the side of a refining unit which passed through several steel grated decks. Portions of a deck above them had been moved aside, but not secured. The pipe was being cut with a power band saw and the vibration caused the grating to fall approximately 50 ft, striking Employee #1 on the head and arm. He was wearing a hardhat and the blow broke the brim of the hat and gave him a 1-inch cut above his left eye. He also received a long cut on his left arm and was hospitalized.
