Narrative

Two maintenance employees were unplugging a hair chute on a 9' high bin. One employee accessed the chute through the access door. Hair and air blew out the access door and knocked the employee backward off the top of the hair bin to the concrete floor. The employee sustained fractures to both wrists. The machine does not have guard rails and fall protection was not in place at the time.
