Narrative

Employee was assisting in changing out the blow bars in a Sandvik HSI crusher. He was repositioning the rotor in order to bring the next worn bar into position for removal. The rotor ""free-wheeled"" and in the process his right forearm became caught between the blow bar and the crusher side wall. He suffered a compound fracture to his forearm.
