Mostrando los 9EE had finshed lunch and went up in the plant to clean out the #1 baghouse hopper with an air lance which is a air hose with a 1/2 inch pipe hooked to it with a ball valve to turn air on and off with the valve. EE was removing the lance from the hopper it hit him in the mouth knocking out a lower front tooth. The ball valve is what struck him knocking the tooth out.
Cold weather made the pipe more brittle than normal. Typically the pipe can be cut to a certain point then the pipe can be broken with the equipment to finish the break. Under normal conditions the pipe could have been broken this way. Due to the cold weather making the pipe brittle the amount that was cut was not strong enough to keep from breaking on its own.
