Employee's foot cut by high pressure water

Employee #1 was using a water hose and wand pressurized to 15,000 psi to clean grease and residue from a used rocket motor. Grease, water, and residue built up on the smooth concrete floor, Employee #1's protective clothing, and the working equipment. Employee #1 slipped and fell onto the concrete floor. He did not release the trigger on the wand. The tip of the wand sliced through his rubber boot, passed over the steel toe, and cut into his foot. Water and a rust inhibitor were forced into his foot. Employee #1 underwent surgery.
