Narrative

Two employees were changing the roller on the crusher belt. As one employee was trying to place the ear of the roller into the bracket the roller slipped out of his hand. The other employee was holding the other end of the roller and couldn't let go of the roller before it smashed his right thumb. Required 5 stitches.
