Narrative

Assigned to complete a post oil change on 508. Connected the evac pump and found it did not work. Went to replace evac pump, removed the air hose thinking that all of pressure was released but there was still pressure in the oil hose. Employee disconnected the oil line to the pump, it came off suddenly and hit his left index finger, causing a laceration that required stitches.
