Narrative

Employee was dislodging a broken return roller from a pulley on a de-energized conveyor. Pre-job plan, lock out/tag, and release of the hydraulic take up were conducted prior to start. When the broken return roller was cut free from the pulley the unanticipated stored energy wedged his right leg in the conveyor pulley.
