Narrative

EE was working on the 42? belt with a crew of two. The crew was removing broken idlers from the conveyor. As He was removing the second idler, the idler hung up on the conveyor frame. Another employee picked up on the opposite side of the idler freeing it. When the idler was freed, the inertia of him pulling on it caused a rapid movement forward.
