Investigation Summary
At 1:15 p.m. on November 7, 2017, an employee was monitoring a guzzler line of a rail machine that was being used inside a sewer pipe. During work, the guzzler line became compromised and an unidentified object created a cut in the hose. While the line was in the sewer pipe, the pressure was equalized. However, when the guzzler line was removed, it became unstable and struck the employee at a high rate of speed. The employee sustained five fractured ribs and a dislocated right shoulder, which he was hospitalized and received treatment.
