Narrative

EE positioned a cap wedge between the flight conveyor chain & the drive sprocket on the vessel & then instructed the plant operator to jog it. The chain broke causing the flight to reverse direction and pinch EE's left arm between the flight and the chute. EE was transported to CAMC for x-rays but they were unable to test due to swelling. EE is currently off work awaiting MRI.
