Event: 08/18/1998

Employee injured when struck in neck by flying hose fitting

At approximately 2:30 p.m. on August 18, 1998, Employee #1 was using a pneumatic hammer that was connected to a pressurized air hose to break up the jagged edges of a concrete catch basin. The O-ring of the Chicago fitting on the air hose was broken and a portion of the O-ring was missing, which allowed the hose to disconnect from the hammer. The Chicago fitting, which was still under pressure, whipped around and struck Employee #1 on the neck. He suffered neck and internal injuries, for which he was hospitalized.
