Narrative

An employee was using a portable press to square a metal frame for a gasket application when the hydraulic hose became bound during expansion. The buildup caused a hydraulic rupture that dislodged the press from its mooring. The press struck the employee and knocked him from his ladder. He struck his head when he landed, causing a concussion and scalp laceration that required hospitalization.
