Narrative

Employee was working in the removal of gear box from the spare drive shaft of E01 chain. Two hydraulic jacks with supplemental pieces were used. While the jacks were in pressure the gear box was heated to clear the interference between the couplings. As the coupling came loose one of the supplements slipped out and hit the employee on his right leg.
