Narrative

On July 9, 2021, employees were operating a mobile conveyor belt to load sand into a silo. The conveyor was experiencing belt issues and was being replaced with a new conveyor. The injured employee was operating the conveyor to fold it up so that it could be transported when the conveyor struck an overhead electrical line. The resulting arc flash burned the employee's left hand fingers.
