Narrative

Miner was investigating why a dust collector's screw conveyor stopped. He turned off conveyor's power but didn't follow procedure to turn off/lockout the co-located rotary feeder's power. He then put his hand into the inspection port to see if there was any material buildup. The still moving rotary feeder struck the index & middle finger of his right hand, & lacerated them.
