Narrative

The brake assembly at the Kiln Aux drive was disassembled as it was being repaired. The drive was started and the assemblies spun and hit the bolts that held the drum on. The brake assembly broke and hit the employee in the leg, who was standing approx. 12 ft away. This resulted in loss of time.
