Narrative

The employee was unloading a railcar. When the railcar was empty, the pump remained running and valve open to keep vacuum on the hose. The employee disconnected the hose and began to move it away from the railcar before capping the hose. During this movement, the hose lost its vacuum and material splashed onto the employee.
