Narrative

The contract labor employee was shoveling coal onto the 16th West conveyor belt. As he threw a shovel load of coal up onto the belt, he mis-judged the height of the belt and his shovel hit the bottom side of the top belt which resulted in the shovel being caught in a top roller. EE injured his right shoulder trying to pull the shovel away from the roller.
