Narrative

An employee was cleaning up an area by sweeping and removing sand from the summit when the machine cycled, pinning his left hand between the summit and the transfer car he was using to put the sand in. He suffered multiple fractures and lacerations to his left-hand thumb, ring, and pinky fingers. The machine was not locked out/tagged out at the time of the incident.
