Narrative

The employee was replacing vee-belts on the M-5 conveyor. While attempting to roll the vee-belts on, the torque arm moved out of its bracket, causing the employee to lose his footing. He then fell from his position, striking his groin area on either the torque arm hook or torque arm bracket. He fell approximately 8 feet landing in some loose material on the ground.
