EXPLODING VESSELS UNDER PRESSURE
Jewett Mine LLC · Struck by flying object
Working on dozer. Employee was going to paint an area on dozer to help locate tracks that were loose. EE retrieved new can of spray paint out of fireproof cabinet, and stored in cabinet for a few months. First time to use, and it wouldn't come out, EE shook can and didn't hear the ball inside so tapped it on the bed of work truck. Can exploded and hit EE in the face.
