## Narrative

On August 7, 2018, an employee was operating a hydrovac when the metal braided hose began leaking. The employee attempted to repair it with tape, and pressure built up in the hose. The hose then struck and lacerated the employee's hand, and high-pressure water and debris were injected into the employee's hand. The employee was hospitalized.
