Narrative

Miner was changing the bag on the rotary airlock at the base of the dust collector. EE was trying to clear a bridge and removed the guard and put EE's hand in the airlock to clear the bridge without ensuring that EE locked out the disconnect. While doing so, the airlock actuated and EE's hand became caught between the blade and the side wall.
