Employee Suffers Facial Injuries When Hoisting Device Fails

On May 9, 2006, a welder was using a hoisting device to raise a 14-in. by 20-ft carbon-steel pipe. The pipe was being transferred to another hoisting device, when the first one failed. The employee was struck by flying objects and sustained a shattered eye socket, cheekbone, and a laceration over his right eye. He was treated at the scene by emergency medical personnel and then taken to a medical center. He was hospitalized for eight days.
