Narrative

Employees were replacing air direction vanes on the preheater coal mill. EE was turning mill with a pipe wrench on the drive shaft. The vanes were rubbing on the liner. The diver hung-up and while he was tying to turn it back the pipe wrench slipped causing him to loose his balance. He fell to the lower level, spraining his left ankle when he landed.
