Narrative

EE was assigned the task of injecting Visolite Tracer Compound into the bottom of the Coke Mill Dust Collector hopper to determine the condition of the dust collector bags. When EE asked the Control Room to start the Dust Collector Fan, the fan's suction pulled EE into the Dust Collector hopper causing EE to strike head and face on the hopper's door frame.
