Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on October 3, 2024, an employee working as a concrete finisher for a building contractor was pouring concrete. The employee was using a dispensing hose to deposit concrete forming patios and sidewalks. A restriction formed in the pumping hose resulting in a pressure surge and causing the hose to whip. The employee was struck by the hard end of the hose and hospitalized to treat a concussion.
