Narrative

On October 26, 2020, an employee was using a ladder to clear fishmeal from the cyclone funnel meal feeder on an elevated conveyor. While walking on the conveyor, the employee stepped onto a breaker box that was mounted on a pole alongside the conveyor. The breaker box broke free from it's metal mounting bracket, and the employee fell approximately 5'6" to the floor. The employee's right arm was lacerated by a mounting bracket as he fell. The employee was hospitalized for surgery to close the wound.
