Narrative

A belt repair was taking place on an Easi-miner. The remnants of the belt were removed. While attempting to back off the adjuster on the short conveyor so the new belt could be fastened together a piece of parting, approximately 30 lbs, fell off of the adjustment guide and struck the mechanic above the left eye causing a laceration.
