Investigation Summary
At 10:23 p.m. on May 23, 2020, two employees were cleaning a 4-inch by approximately 50-foot food processing line. A coworker inserted a 4-inch by 8-inch rubber skud and closed the processing line. The coworker pressurized the processing line to approximately 80-90 psi with plant air. The skud traveled the food processing line to the dead head, at which time Employee #1 removed the dead head. Pressure was not released beforehand, and the skud ejected out of the 4-inch pipe and struck Employee #1 in the head, causing a fall to the concrete ground from a 6-foot ladder. Employee #1 sustained facial bruising and a fractured right hip and was hospitalized.
