Narrative

An employee was abrasive blasting in the fan room on a ship. He backed into a 12-inch dust collector chute. The suction pulled the employee's left shoulder into the chute and the employee lost control of the blasting hose. Blast media caused an avulsion to the employee's upper right bicep.
