Narrative

An employee was swapping barrels under a dust cyclone. The employee turned around and ran into an adjacent barrel and lost balance. His right hand went up the sock that surrounded the bottom of the dust collector and the rotating airlock blade partially amputated his index and middle fingers. The machine was not guarded at the time.
