Narrative

An employee was installing a rubber cover over a hole in the bottom funnel of the baghouse. The employee was climbing a step ladder to attempt to cover the hole when his foot slipped, causing his hand to go into the funnel and down to the rotary air lock. His right middle finger was pinched and his fingertip was amputated.
