Employee's Arm Is Injured When Struck by Lance

At approximately 2:00 a.m. on July 29, 2006, Employee #1 was working at the Shell Oil Refinery, located in Martinez, California. He was attempting to flex-lance a vertical exchanger, E- 1155, with the Jetstream Hydroblaster. After two hours of flex-lancing without incident, Employee #1 came across a blocked tube. The blockage was approximately 3 in. from the end of the tube. The lance suddenly backed out of the tube and struck Employee #1 in his left upper arm. Employee #1 sustained bruises, contusions, and abrasions. He was taken to the Shell First Aid Station, and later he was transferred to Mt. Diablo Medical Center in Concord, California, where he was hospitalized.
