Abstract: At 7:30 a.m. on July 25, 2017, Employee #1 and coworkers, employed by a plastering company, were performing plastering operations at a residential construction site. The workers were using a Predator plastering pump connected to 150 feet of rubber hose. Employee #1 was standing with the hose between his feet and attempting to minimize hose wear and tear due to the hose rubbing against the granular rock surface. The hose ruptured, possibly due to a plaster blockage, and the hose projected upward and struck Employee #1 in the groin area. The impact caused Employee #1 to go airborne and then fall a few feet away and land on gravel surface. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, admitted, and treated for injuries to his head and groin area.
