Investigation Summary
At 7:45 a.m. on July 13, 2019, an employee was washing a CAT 345 excavator with a Karcher pressure washer when she got the water hose wrapped around the exhaust pipe of the excavator. The employee pulled hard on the hose attempting to release some slack and squeezed the trigger of the pressure washer as it was pointed toward her left leg. She struck her leg with the high pressure hot water resulting in a burn, a puncture and later an infection to her calf, requiring hospitalization.
