Narrative

The worker went to a mill bin to get the cement to flow. He attached high pressure to the internal air pads and tapped on the bottom to loosen the material. While checking for flow at the discharge, the seal came out from under the holding seal band and blew cement on him knocking off his safety glasses and getting into his eyes.
