Houston Plant #2 Metal/Non-Metal

EE was helping replace a vent fan motor. The motor was already on the catwalk and EE climbed the ladder so they could hand EE the motor. Before they could hand the motor to EE, EE slipped and fell backwards and over the railing, approx 26ft fall & landing at an angle. EE's left ankle hit first and then EE's head.

Employee did not realize the mill had not been flowing and the media had heated up the material in the attritor due to friction, EE then removed a hose without closing the valve which allowed the hot material to escape which caused burns to both hands.

EE was attempting to turn off the blower, when EE turned to do so, the area was wet from the rain, EE slipped. EE tried to catch themself and their arm hit the pipe coupling bolts causing a laceration. EE was sent to local clinic and the cut was stitched, EE was given antibiotics and a tetanus shot.
