Narrative

He was inspecting belt cleaners on the belt head. He couldn't get a good look, so he removed the safety quard to get a better look at the cleaners, while the belt was running. While trying to inspect the cleaner, he slipped and somehow caught his wrist between the roller and a I beam. He jerked away, finding his wrist badly cut.
