## Narrative

He compromised the guarding in order to knock dust off the conveyor frame. The hammer he was using was grabbed by the conveyor belt pulling it and right hand between the troughing roller and underside of the belt. Hammer got wedged between the skirtboard and roller causing belt to stall. His right hand, thumb and first two fingers were pinched between the belt and troughing roll.
