2025 Second Alert LTI#10_HDPE Pulling Finger struck by Lever hoist hook while removing the flow line
On 28th May 2025 at approximately 14:30 hours, an incident occurred during the installation of HDPE liner in a water pit by a subcontractor crew. The non routine activity involved a combination of both manual handling techniques and the use of a backhoe loader to position and deploy the liner into water pit. During the pulling operation, a wooden anchor piece, which had been temporarily fastened at the one corner of the HDPE liner to assist with mechanical pulling, failed under tension. The sudden release of the wooden piece caused it to rebound violently, striking the permit holder on the right leg, resulting in a right leg fracture.

Sub standard & deteriorated tools are used for the task. There was supervisor at the incident location, but no intervention took place
