## Narrative

An employee was checking the source of dripping water on dust collector equipment after cleaning, before production start up. While the employee's right hand was below a vacuum air rotary valve on the bottom end of the dust collector's filter unit (about 3 feet above the floor), air flow moved the employee's right middle finger upward into an internal rotating component. The employee's fingertip was lacerated.
