Narrative

An employee entered a machine area to clean the concrete agitator. As the employee was cleaning the agitator, a hose caught the gate. The gate shut and the machine reset. When the machine resets, the agitator moves slowly. The employee's right foot was caught between the agitator and the base box in the machine, requiring hospitalization and surgery. The agitator was guarded and not locked out at the time of the incident.
