## Narrative

Injured employee was replacing a damaged high pressure transducer on #124 shield on the set-up face. He thought the hydraulic pressure was off because the fitting was not leaking emulsion. When the staple from the fitting was removed the fitting struck the employee on the left index finger under pressure. This resulted in a fracture and laceration to the finger.
