Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was repairing a leak in the hydraulic system of a machine. A coworker checked the appropriate gauges to ensure that the pressure had been released and they all indicated zero pressure. Employee #1 was then instructed to remove the check valve from a 4-in. header. When the valve was loosened, the hydraulic pressure on the header shot the valve into Employee # 1's head, killing him.
