Narrative

Employees were installing a refurbished cargo pump on a tank. One of the employees was on a cherry picker, guiding the pump into place with his right hand as it was lifted by a crane. The pump caught on an obstruction. When the pump was freed, it jumped. The employee's right hand was crushed between the pump flange and a piping flange directly above the pump.
