Final narrative
An employee was in a lift with a blasting hose that was tied to the lift basket so the employee could work at an elevated position. During this time, the hose was charged, activating the discharge of shot blast. This caused the hose to whip around violently while discharging grit. The blasting nozzle struck the employee's face and shot blast was embedded in his face.
