ELD Operations, LLC · Struck by flying object

Employee was operating a concrete pump truck at a new construction site, the flexible hose at the end of the boom became clogged. Instead of following procedure EE decided to hit the hose while it still had pressure on it. When the clog broke loose, so did the pressure. That release of pressure caused the hose to whip and hit EE in the side of the head.
