## Narrative

A Shipping Center operator was packaging material in paper bags when a 50 lb. paper bag was hung up on the bag chair still connected to the fill spout. The bag began overfilling and the operator attempted to move the bag at which point the bag expanded beyond capacity and erupted. The operator was wearing safety glasses; however, material entered the operator's right eye.
