Narrative

EE was replacing one link on the Raw Mill Elevator chain. EE was having difficulty removing the pin from the chain and decided to use a porta power ram to press the pin out of the link. EE leaned over the porta power to see if pin was moving when the porta power kicked out striking EE in the face. EE received 13 stitches and a broken nose.
