Narrative

A plant operator was performing clean up duties around the sand heater. The operator noticed grease around the trunnion roller and climbed up on a cement block at the base of the equipment to get a better look at the machine in operation. In the process of climbing down from the cement block the employee's glove was caught by the trunnion roller and the left hand was pulled in.
