Narrative

Employee was greasing the boom of a Cat 988F endloader with an air greaser. When the grease jerk would not take any more grease, he attempted to pull off the grease hose and it ruptured in his hand. The line pressure injected grease into his thumb. The thumb had to be operated on to remove the grease. Lost time injury.
