Final narrative
An employee was working as a color weighman operator. The employee located the weigh station hopper and removed the vent sock and clamps to access the inside of the hopper through the vent hole. After using a pole to clear the bottom of the hopper, the employee reached through the vent hole to access the top of the hopper. The employee's right hand came in contact with the rotary air lock, causing partial amputations to two fingers.
