Narrative

At the completion of a job on the Bypass Dust Collector the Production Coordinator was ensuring all valves for the system were secure. As they walked to the discharge valve on the bypass compartment (which was closed) a blast of dust came out from the Benetech inspection door. The material hit the employee in the face and head causing an injury to the left eye.
