Narrative

The TRS had lost pressure due to a leak. The employee was trying to find which hose was leaking by moving the hoses around. He told his partner to bump the lever, his hand was on the hose that was leaking (unknowingly), the hyd. fluid went through his glove and made a small puncture hole in his hand allowing hyd. fluid to enter his hand.
