At 1:45 p.m. on October 31, 2020, Employee #1 and a coworker were attempting to free a 20-foot-long PVC pipe stuck underneath a machine using a sling attached to the fork of a forklift. Employee #1 was standing on the ground while the coworker operated the forklift to pull on the pipe. As the PVC pipe was dislodged, it became loose and struck Employee #1 in the face.

The employee was hospitalized for treatment of these injuries.
