Final narrative
An employee was breaking up hardened residual ash to remove it from the inside of the second chamber of a dryer during a scheduled outage of the equipment. A piece of the ash fell and pinned the employee's legs. Interior layers of the residual ash were still hot, causing third degree burns on the right leg, second degree burns on the left leg, and second degree burns to portions of both arms. The employee was hospitalized.
