Narrative

Operator was contacted with hot material from the waist up while checking dust flow from the cyclone to the leach tank. After opening the knife gate valve he opened the clay bailey to check the flow. Initially the dust flow was okay but then stopped. This was followed by a large slug of material that broke free and flushed out of the clay bailey, contacting the operator.
