Investigation Summary
At 2:30 p.m. on August 22, 2019, an employee was reinstalling/assembling a water main/well pump surge relief valve. The employer did not have lockout/tagout procedures to dissemble the damaged valve and attempted to do so while the valve spring was still loaded (energy not dissipated). The employee placed his hands inside the valve, in an attempt to tighten a retaining collar/component of the valve, and overtightened the component, causing the component to break, which allowed the spring to pin both of his hands to the top of the valve. This crushed both of his hands, and the employee was hospitalized for treatment.
