Investigation Summary
Employee #1, a service manager for an equipment rental facility, was using a 1900 psi water sprayer to clean the transmission case on a skip-loader tractor. When he was finished, he dismounted the sprayer, holding the spray wand, a Simpson water shotgun, model WS 2500 GRS, in his right hand and pointing it toward his feet. Employee #1 inadvertently depressed the activating trigger on the wand. The spray penetrated his rubber boot just behind the steel toe protector and penetrated his foot. Employee #1 sustained a laceration to his right foot, which later became infected.
