Narrative

At 8:35 p.m. on December 2, 2018, an employee was on a 9- to 10-foot mobile work platform ladder, using an air hose to dry the head pulley of a feed conveyor to keep it from slipping. The employee lost balance and began to fall forward, and their right glove was caught between the conveyor belt and the head pulley. The employee was pulled in, suffering a closed fracture to the ulna and radius.
