The employee did not perform an energy isolation or verify all movement had stopped prior to working on the pump. The employee stuck his hand inside one of the chambers of the pump where an internal piston operates. The piston cycled and crushed the employees hand up against the inside of the chamber wall. The employee's right hand was crushed that resulted in three fingers requiring partial amputation.
