Employee's foot injured when caught in rice auger

At 2:45 p.m. on October 2, 1996, Employee #1 was emptying a load of paddy rice from a dump truck into an open, cone-shaped hopper. A portable, 55 ft long Hetchinson/Mayrath screw conveyor, serial #H-414498, with a 10 in. pipe and a 9 in. screw, was transporting the rice up into a storage bin. The hopper was 10 ft in diameter and 3 ft deep at ground level, with sloping sides. Employee #1 stepped into the unguarded 14 in. by 20 in. screw conveyor opening, sustaining three fractured toes and a deep laceration of his heel and tendons.
