At 2:30 p.m. on March 10, 2018, Employee #1 was using an aerial lift to gain access to an emergency access panel on a dust collection silo that was 25 feet above the ground. From the aerial lift, Employee #1 was using a two-inch water hose to spray water into the silo to remove the sawdust that had accumulated. He then exited the aerial lift and climbed through the emergency blow-out panel that opened into the silo. While inside the silo, a large accumulation of sawdust fell from overhead and engulfed Employee #1. He was killed as a result.
