Narrative

Employee ducked down to go below the conveyor belt that feeds the powder elevator between B&C silos. When passing under the belt, his hard hat hit the bottom of the conveyor and fell off. He continued below the belt until he thought he was clear of the belt. He stood up, hit his head on a water trap which cut his scalp.
