Narrative

An employee was disconnecting a piece of inlet pipe from the water pump of a large engine and removed one of the three remaining bolts. The piping then rotated downward and the flange swung into the engine damper next to the water pump. The employee's left hand was caught between the flange and the damper, resulting in a crushing injury and broken bones to their hand and little finger. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery.
