Narrative

The sealing water hoses for the pit pump had been disconnected and were being stowed on the pump sled by 2 members of the float crew. As the flanged end of the hose was being rolled up on the sled the employees gloved left hand was caught between the flange and the pump gearbox, causing an avulsed area on the left index finger.
