Narrative

The employee was mixing Nitrate and Diesel fuel in the Bulk Truck to produce Ammonia Nitrate. As the Nitrate slid down the bin, the flow of Nitrate stopped because of a crust build up. The employee used a digging bar to break the crust to resume flow. When the bar broke through the crust, the employee fell forward striking the lip of the bin.
