Investigation Summary
Employee #1 was using a rake on a long pole to clean sawdust from below and outside a silo. He could no longer reach the sawdust from the outside of the silo and he entered the silo to continue cleaning. The sawdust was approximately 4 feet thick and was caked on the inside of the silo to a height of approximately 30 feet. The sawdust loosened and fell on the employee, completely engulfing and killing him.
