Narrative

While replacing the lower section of a Sag mill motor bearing, an eye bolt was attached to the section and an overhead crane was being used to move/position the bearing section when the eye bolt broke and grazed the craftsman's left arm above the wrist resulting in a laceration which required 4 sutures. The employee was wearing gloves.
