Final narrative
The injured employee was standing next to the drilling piping, holding material over the pipe joint to channel residual mud downward, ready to swing the disconnected piping out of the way. Oil-based drilling mud came out under pressure and three employees got mud in their eyes when their hard hats and safety glasses were blown off. One employee was hospitalized for an eye injury. The eye was burning, swollen and the employee was unable to see.
