Narrative

EE injured while removing a hose from a Fletcher MRS leg cylinder ram. EE inadvertently hit a fitting on the check valve, next to the hose EE was removing, with a wrench. The fitting failed and released high pressure oil that hit the EE's right hand, causing a laceration and injection of oil. A surgical procedure was required to clean the oil out.
