Narrative

Injury was called to investigate why the #1 raw mill pump was not pumping and was standing apprximately 8' to the west of the pump when for an unknown reason the pump hopper split out spraying him with a large amount of raw dust, some of which got in his eyes even though he was wearing his eye protection.
