## Narrative

While filling the pod duster, the employee thought that the outside tank was empty as EE was not getting dust. EE then unhooked the fill hose from the duster and didn't know that the line was plugged and had pressure. The hose flew into EE's left hand causing a laceration. The employee was wearing gloves at the time.
