Investigation Nr: 201105053
Event: 06/21/2004
Worker falls into excavation

On June 21, 2004, Employee #1 and coworker were to wash down buildings using a flush/vacuum truck. A firefighting nozzle was placed on the sewer hose. The employees took turns washing down the building. Employee #1 turned down the rpm's on the pump to idle, but didn't know how to turn off the water. The coworker handed Employee #1 the nozzle in the closed position and walked towards the truck. Once the coworker turned and started to walk, the nozzle broke Employee #1 hand under the collar. The employee's hand was opened up by the force of the water, on the palm, across the web and onto the backside of the hand.
