Investigation Summary
At approximately 11:30 a.m. on December 10, 2012, Employee #1, a mechanic, was locating the source of a leak on a line within the hydraulic system of a CE-88 Caterpillar forklift. The forklift was running during his inspection. He moved a set of three hoses resting on a frame beam under the hood, which caused one of the rubber hoses to expel a stream of hydraulic fluid. This damaged rubber hose injected the stream of hydraulic fluid into his right middle finger. A coworker transported Employee #1 to a hospital, where he was evaluated and referred to another medical center. At this hospital, Employee #1 was admitted, which occurred on the same day. He was discharged two days later, after receiving treatment and undergoing surgery on his right hand.
