Maintenance worker killed misusing grounds keeping equipment

A municipal maintenance worker was killed when attempting to use a one inch hose with a pressure nozzle to clear out sand from a hole in which a light pole was being installed at a recreational ground. The worker, working for a municipality within the State of New Jersey was struck in the head by the metal nozzle.

The equipment used was not intended for the use and appears from the report to have swung wildly after the incident injuring other workers.

The lesson from this NIOSH fatality report is to use equipment for its intended use and in the manner for which it was manufactured. Also get the right training and read the user manuals.

Municipal Maintenance Worker Killed When Struck With the Steel Coupling of an Out-of-Control High Pressure Water Hose. This is an older case report dating back to December 1996.
