Narrative

Maintenance employee was removing a partial piece of an auger from the rotex deck. The auger caught on the latch as they were lowering it at waist level and it fell to the catwalk where EE was standing. It hit EE's boot across the steel toe and just behind the steel toe. This caused EE's big toe to become displaced and fractured requiring surgery.
