What happened

EE was working at powder dump station #2 in the intake room. The employee was set to perform the task of clearing out buildup of powder in the intake station. The station is a hopper with an auger at the bottom and a magnetic screen at the top of the hopper. The employee dumps powder over the magnetic screen. To clear the powder the employee moved the protective magnetic screen at the top of the bin.
