Abstract: At 10:15 a.m. on December 5, 2020, Employee #1 was standing on a 20-inch elevated platform, observing product being filled into a hopper. The product was forced through a piping system under pressure in a process known as "pigging." The air pressure caused the hopper lid to repeatedly open and close, creating a loud noise that startled the employee. In response, the employee turned and jumped off the platform, resulting in a dislocated left patella and a fractured left tibia. The employee was hospitalized.
