On January 27, 2015, two Tritium operators were troubleshooting leaks in an unloading glovebox. One employee was removing an O-ring from an adapter plate, during which time the employee's right hand slipped, and the removal tool punctured the glovebox glove, nitrile glove, and cotton liner on his left hand, pricking the palm of his left hand and drawing a small amount of blood.
