EE was in the process of using a water hose to unplug material that was stuck in the heavy media line. When the unclogged material became free it came out the end of the line, striking his right hand, resulting in a fracture. Due to EE work rotation and scheduled vac during Thanksgiving week, this is a medical reportable injury only, no lost workdays.
