Narrative

Employee and supervisor were moving a portable fan which was cooling #9 kiln bearing. In lifting the fan the casing was hot because of radiation from the kiln shell; the employee was not wearing gloves, so he dropped the fan at the contact with the hot metal, trapping his left hand index finger between the edge of the fan and a bin. Causing fracture of the finger.
