He was hospitalized at Queen of the Valley Hospital for treatment of left hand and leg lacerations. Neither worker had been specifically trained that only one person at a time is allowed inside the water blast booth during spraying operations. After the accident, warning signs were posted at the booth entrance stating only one worker is allowed inside the booth during water blasting.
