Narrative

EE went on break, noticed dusting in main packer. Went to MCC panel check that dust fan was on (seen that the dust vane & #6 screw were off like they're supposed to be). EE went to dust vane visual inspection port, removed the inspection cap to see if product was flowing, stuck hand in port, while pulling their hand back out caught their fingers tips on the vane fins.
