Narrative

Employee climbed onto 48"" x 60"" feed conveyor to check bearings on idle roller. He knelt down on the conveyor frame then onto the belt to reach over to check a bearing. The belt twisted under his weight and since he failed to put on fall proctection and lifeline, he fell 10' to the ground, breaking his right elbow, 3 ribs and puncturing his lung. No equipment damage.
