Narrative

EE was positioning a stainless steel chute over the top of the heavy media cyclone sump. The chute was hanging by 2 electric hoists & being lowered into the sump. The area was tight causing it to hang up & it had to be shaken or jarred loose. In an attempt to free it, EE put his hand on the hoist block & pushed. The block then twisted & caused a laceration.
