Employee's hand and arm are sprayed with high pressure water

At approximately 12:00 noon on June 30, 1993, Employee #1, a worker for C & H Testing Services, was injured while pressure testing for leaks in the tubing of a Tisdel well, #43-22, at Bakersfield Energy Oil Lease. Employee #1 had inserted the high pressure hose fitting with O-ring seals and placed the hose into the down hole testing device.

He was taken to Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, CA, for treatment.
