Narrative

Employees were cleaning out a grout pump and using buckets of water to flush the pump. The injured employee went to dislodge a rock from inside the pump injection tube when it cycled and the swing tube pinched his hand between it and the injection tube. The employee sustained multiple fractures to the right hand that required surgery.
