Final narrative
An employee was shoveling loose grain that had fallen onto the ground from the hopper of a semi-truck and was placing it on a conveyor belt. The employee stepped onto the unguarded conveyor belt and sustained a compound fracture to the right lower leg. The conveyor belt guard was damaged by the semi-truck when it drove over the extension (pigtail) of the conveyor belt earlier in the day.
