Narrative

An employee drove a roll-off truck to a landfill and was emptying a load when he noticed a hydraulic leak on one of the hoses. He was looking to see where the leak was coming from when the hydraulic stream hit his left index finger, penetrating his work glove and cutting his finger, which allowed the hydraulic fluid to enter his finger. He was hospitalized.
