Incident Narrative
On June 25, 2024, a cleaning nozzle was being piloted into a host pipe within a manhole. The water cleaning head (nozzle) is sent through the pipe by applying a high pressure burst from the truck to the line. The nozzle was not completely within the host pipe, so the high pressure and angle caused the nozzle to make an upward trajectory out of the manhole. The nozzle then struck the back of an employee s leg, causing a laceration.
