Narrative

After the employee bled the hydraulic system for the raw mill, the EE checked the gauges to verify that they were reading zero. EE started removing a blank off one of the hydraulic manifolds for #3 roll cylinder, but as EE was removing the third bolt from the blank, the hydraulic fluid sprayed out hitting EE in the chest with fluid.
