Narrative

Employee was working in the primary feeder hopper. He was standing on built up material in the hopper, clamping a piece of belting up so access to the rotor was open. He turned to climb down and his foot slipped, causing him to fall sideways about 2 ft into the bottom of the feeder trough, impacting his right shoulder.
