Associate backed the haul truck under the conveyor to load Mineral filler. Preliminary findings indicate that the associate climbed to first level platform under the silo hopper. While standing on the platform, the upper section of the hopper detached from the silo. The entire hopper, along with contents, then collapsed onto the platform, engulfing the associate.
