Narrative

The employee was cleaning out around the Zero Speed hose, while the belt was running. He opened up the guard and stuck his Right hand in, past bearing for the tail pulley, with a pair of Channel locks to clean. When he lost his footing, slipped and fell into the belt, the tail pulley grabbed his channel locks and pulled him into the tail pulley.
