Abstract: At approximately 6:50 a.m. on May 4, 1990, Employee #1 and a coworker were troubleshooting a large fully-enclosed mixing tank that had stopped functioning during their shift. Employee #1 was looking into the tank through an access panel door when his coworker energized the system, causing the interior mixing paddle to spin and hit the access door. As the door closed toward the employee, a bolt located in the center of the door struck him in the forehead; he was hospitalized.
