Employee #1 was looking for a leak under a 38 ft long, approximately 1,520 lb pipe. The pipe, which was elevated on wooden blocks, was unsecured. When air pressure was added to one of the capped ends, the cap at the other end came off, causing the pressurized pipe to jump forward. The blocks of wood flew up in the air and struck Employee #1 on the head. The falling pipe landed on him. Employee #1 was killed. | ||||||
