Beware of hose worm clamps!

 A chemical cleaning unit of a heat exchanger was rigged up with hoses, fixed with clamps. When the cleaning operation was going on, one of the workers accidentally stepped on the hose which was sending in pressurised chemical cleaning solution. The hose worm clamp gave way and the hose sprayed chemical cleaning solution into the eyes of the worker, causing permanent damage to his vision.
