Narrative

Mill Operators had finished cleaning the spray bar for the SAG Mill. While reinstalling the spray bar end slipped out of the far back holding bracket which caused the spray bar to slip down in the back end and the front end with the plate to go up. The Operator got his hand caught between the plate and the lip of the trommel cover.
