## Narrative

Two elec were cleaning collector rings in the dragline. Vacuum in the work area stirred up dust and they went to the shop to get respirators; they started coughing and could not get it under control. Both were taken to the clinic, tested and treated. Investigation showed the vacuum's motor stirred up the dust with just a filter on the vacuum; no bag corrections were made.
