Investigation Summary
On December 28, 2007, Employee #1 was participating in the pressure testing of a 26-mile-long pipeline. The company was using a 2 in. diameter high pressure hose fitted with RYCO T400 series fittings. The hose separated from the fitting connecting it to the pipeline when the pressure reached approximately 1,725 psi. Employee #1 was struck in the head either by the flying hose or by the high-pressure jet of water. He fell, striking his head on a steel pipe as he landed. Employee #1 was killed. No safety devices were in place to restrain the hose in the event of failure.
