Narrative

On June 11, 2020, at 7:30 a.m., an employee was diagnosing why a breaker kept tripping on a dust extraction system at a grain dryer facility. As the employee was cleaning out the dust near the airlocks, the system started. The fan blades then amputated all four of his fingers on his right hand.
