Investigation Summary
At 5:00 p.m. on September 18, 2021, an employee assisted in washing a newly installed pipe. A coworker on one side of the pipe inserted various brushes into the pipe which were then pushed using compressed air at approximately 100 psi to push the pipes through the pipe. The employee stood at the receiving end of the pipeline, removed the receiver backstop and was struck in the face by an incoming sizing plate/foam brush. The employee received a facial fracture, a concussion, and was killed.
