Putnam Materials Corp · Struck by flying object
The employee alleges, while unscrewing the cap of the fuel tank on the haul truck 05014, the tank was full of pressure and when opening fumes and possible dust blew up and got into EE's eyes. The pressure release function in the cap was working properly.
