Narrative

An employee was draining down and isolating piping. While he was trying to remove debris from a 1-inch vent valve, liquid started to gurgle up into the valve. He closed the valve with his right hand to prevent a release, and it closed on his left index finger. He suffered a partial amputation to the finger.
