Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was delivering feed to a farm. He placed the auger from the truck over the bin door to fill the bin. A rope used to open the bin door from the ground broke, and the employee climbed onto the bin to fix the rope. The employee had a remote control that activated the auger in his pocket. As he climbed onto the bin, he contacted the remote control and activated the auger. He became pinned between the auger and the bin and was killed.
