Remarks:
A contract employee was removing a ¾ inch plug from a nipple in the tubing
hanger after a BOP test. High nitrogen pressure had migrated into the
nipple during the BOP test. Not realizing pressure was in the nipple, the
employee’s right hand was impacted when the plug was removed. It was later
determined that the employee had a broken hand and was admitted to the
hospital for treatment/observation.
