Investigation Summary
At approximately 12:30 p.m. on May 13, 2004, Employee #1, the pump operator, was installing a swimming pool at a residence when a high-pressure hose struck him. The hose was connected to Reed model C50HP pump. During the installation, a concrete plug formed in the 3-in. delivery hose. Employee #1 attempted to clear the plugged hose. As he uncoupled the hose, it was still under pressure and struck him in the chest. He was hospitalized for several days with contusions. The employer failed to provide instructions to the pump operator and failed to develop and implement a procedure to safely service the pump in the field.
