Narrative

An employee was unchoking a friction washer system. He climbed on the floater table, which is 50 inches from the ground, and placed the lid back on the friction washer. As he was climbing back down, he slipped and his left leg fell into the auger, resulting in the amputation of the left leg above the knee.
