Narrative

A crew was working on BF-54 to determine proper bag house operation. The effected employee removed the port hole (inspection hole) on top of SC- 54 to view the screw conveyor and determine if they had suction on BF- 54. As his co-workers closed the main door on the bag house the screw conveyor and inspection port hole gained suction and pulled his finger into the screw conveyor.
