Garnet USA LLC · Contact with electrical current

Employees were raising a PVC pipe that directed garnet onto a sizing screen. After raising the pipe, they screwed a bracket into the pipe to secure it in position. When the screw to hold the bracket penetrated through the pipe wall, a large amount of static electricity was released from inside the pipe. The static electricity shocked the two employees that were holding the pipe.
