Narrative

An employee was preparing a front-end dumpster-type container for reconditioning and setting up an electric airless paint sprayer and nozzle. The paint sprayer was clogged so he worked to dislodge the clog. His right index finger was struck by pressurized paint, resulting in compartment syndrome and hospitalization.
