Abstract: On August 31, 2013, Employee #1 was using a high-pressure washer to clean the inside of a boiler unit. As he repositioned himself, he compressed the trigger of the water gun with the end of the wand pointing towards his face. A stream of high-pressure water struck his face, injuring his eye, which later resulted in vision loss, and lacerating his forehead. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where he received treatment and was then hospitalized.
