Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was attempting to use the bucket of a front end loader to gain access to a pipe located 9 feet above ground. When the employee removed the metal end cap on the pipe, the cap flew off under pressure, struck him in the head, and sprayed his face with "Satan Seal" asphalt dressing. Employee #1 fell from the bucket of the loader and struck the ground, sustaining fractures to the left hand and contusions to the head and body, which required surgery.
