Narrative

At end of bagging run, the material gate wasn't closed causing the blending hopper to fill up. The slide gate switch was manually held on for gate to remain open so that the hopper could be cleaned manually. Mis-communication between the people cleaning the hopper and operating the switch resulted in the gate closing, causing it to cut off the tip of the finger.
