Abstract: At approximately 7:30 a.m. on October 24, 2012, Employee #1, employed as a carpenter/hoseman for approximately 10 years by KIP Inc., was working at a contracted jobsite. He was using a hose to place concrete. The hose became blocked and then suddenly released energy and concrete under considerable pressure. The sudden release caused the hose to whip around, striking Employee #1 in the face with force and knocking him down onto the rebar structure. Employee #1 was hospitalized for approximately three days and treated for a neck fracture and multiple face lacerations. The employer informed Cal/OSHA's San Bernardino District Office at approximately 1:53 p.m. on October 24, 2012.
