Final narrative
An employee was fixing a hydraulic hose on an industrial trash compactor. While his right hand was holding the hose that goes to the ram of the compactor, the compactor actuated. Up to 6500 PSI of hydraulic fluid shot out of a small hole in the hose and pierced a hole in the pad of the employee s right index finger.
