Narrative

Employee was clearing a rock jam on the primary crusher discharge chute. He laid a pry bar he was using on a hand rail and preceded to adjust his body position. As he reached for the pry bar, a rock slid down the chute and struck the pry bar. The bar end struck the employee's upper lip which took four stitches to close the wound.
