Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on May 21, 2019, an employee was in the guarded area of Hopper Tank Turning Fixture, LBT 2001, Model TS 4GE, Serial 661. The employee removed the final bolt connecting turning fixture to the dry bulk tank when the adjustable top section of turning fixture began to tip and fell off of the base. The employee and the top section fell approximately seven feet to ground. It appears the top section's limit switch failed on turning fixture, allowing the top section to travel too far up at some point. The employee was hospitalized to treat lacerations to his face and abdomen and a dislocation and fracture of his right shoulder.
