## Narrative

Employee 1 was using a front-end loader inside a concrete storage bin to scoop up a boulder of burnt soybeans that had clumped together. Employee 1 could not scoop the boulder into the front-end loader's bucket. The confined space attendant and a supervisor went into the storage bin to assist the front-end loader in scooping the boulder into its bucket. Another soybean boulder, weighing approximately 100 pounds, fell down and hit the attendant and the supervisor and they both sustained fractures to the pelvis. One employee was hospitalized.
