## Narrative

The water truck tail light needed to be changed. The mechanic performed a JHA and was wearing rubber/latex gloves to handle the lightbulb of the tail light. As the mechanic went to turn the bulb to remove it off the truck, the bulb exploded, causing a laceration to the thumb and index finger of the mechanic's left hand. The employee was escorted to the nearest hospital.
