Investigation Summary
At approximately 7:00 a.m. on April 27, 1996, Employee #1, of King County Truck Lines, was loading bulk milk into a 6,700 gallon tanker through the 3 in. valve at the back of the tank. The valve was open and the plunger shaft was in the 'out' position. The valve was leaking around a large nut. Employee # 1 was trying to tighten the nut when he knocked the hose off the 3/4 in. valve shaft that held the valve open. The shaft slammed shut, amputating the tip of his right index finger.
