• Description:
  Struck-by injuries occur when a person is forcefully hit by an object. The danger can come from overhead work or while pushing, pulling or prying objects that may cause them to become airborne. Prevent Injuries: Check pressure regulators to maintain operating pressures. Ensure that water and air hoses are securely connected before turning on valves. Replace worn or damaged hoses. Keep hoses free of sharp bends and kinks. Open and close hydrants and valves SLOWLY. Don't straddle or stand in front of hydrants or snowmaking equipment while opening valves. Don't stand in front of snowguns or move a snowgun while it's operating. Don't yank a hose that is caught on an object. Free the obstruction first to prevent the hose from rupturing. Stay clear of the area if a hose is whipping. Shut off the flow at the source, if possible. Be aware of your environment to avoid collisions with falling ice, branches, coworkers, skiers and boarders. [Description provided by NIOSH]
