## Narrative

An employee was working on removing a blockage in a muck chute by blasting. After several days with no progress he decided to create an opening to allow muck to bypass the blockage. This allowed material to accumulate at the bottom of the raise. He did not remove this material before deciding to wash additional material out of the chute which eventually obstructed the access.
