Narrative

Employees were adjusting a blow bar in a H.S.I. crusher. A 3lb. sledge type hammer was being used to knock the bar retaining wedges loose so the bar could be slid into position on the rotor. When an employee struck a wedge, a piece of metal broke off the hammer face and struck the employee in the right forearem. This caused a deep cut to the employee's arm.
