Investigation Summary
At 6:30 a.m. on May 17, 2018, an employee and coworker were rotating a 30,000 gallon asphalt cement storage tank on six 20 foot drum rollers. While the coworker was using the roller controls, the tank rotated in the wrong direction and started to rotate out of control. The employee attempted to stop the rotation by placing an angle iron between the tank and rollers and he was caught in the nip point, suffering crushing injuries to his right forearm and wrist. The employee was hospitalized.
