Investigation Summary
On February 9, 2005, Employee #1 was removing asbestos contaminated soil from under a building. He was operating a large trailer mounted vacuum unit manufactured by Hurricane, Model Number 500E, Serial Number 1D9BV1523XW048151, that had a rated flow rate of 2350 CFM. The unit became clogged with debris and, as was customary practice, the employee separated sections of the hose, while the unit was in operation, to locate the area of the clog. When he separated one particular joint, the clog was dislodged and the hose suddenly grabbed his right hand and began crawling up his arm. The employee was hospitalized with his injury.
